Payday loans (deferred presentment transactions and small loans) are legal in Louisiana from lenders licensed by the Office of Financial Institutions under the Deferred Presentment and Small Loan Act, La.

How fast can I get a payday loan in Covington?
The form takes about three minutes and many lenders decide within minutes. If you're approved and sign before the lender's cutoff, funds are often deposited the next business day.
Is a payday loan secured or unsecured?
A payday loan is an unsecured loan. You don't put up a car, home or other property as collateral. Instead, lenders base their decision mainly on your income and checking account, and repayment is usually scheduled from that account on your due date. That keeps the process quick, since there's nothing to appraise. Covington residents can see if they qualify in about 3 minutes.
What is a payday advance loan?
A payday advance loan is another name for a payday loan: a short-term advance on your next paycheck. You borrow a small amount and repay it, plus a fee, when you're next paid. The process is quick because lenders look mainly at your income and checking account. Covington residents can request a payday advance online through our network in about 3 minutes.

There's no charge to use our form, and you're never obligated to accept an offer. Compare what lenders offer Covington borrowers in about 3 minutes.
Is a payday loan installment or revolving credit?
A traditional payday loan is neither. It's a single-payment loan: you borrow a set amount and repay it, plus the fee, in one payment on your due date. An installment loan spreads repayment over several scheduled payments, and revolving credit, like a credit card, lets you borrow repeatedly up to a limit. Depending on Louisiana rules, lenders may offer payday or installment options. Compare them in about 3 minutes.
How do I get a payday loan in Covington, LA?
