Payday loans in Biddeford, ME

Payday loans are legal in Maine only from supervised lenders licensed by the Bureau of Consumer Credit Protection, and fees are tightly capped: a lender may charge no more than a $5, $15 or $25 minimum finance charge (by loan size) or the general consumer-loan rate caps. You can request one online from Biddeford through our network; approval and terms are set by the lender.

Maine law sets no payday-specific maximum loan amount, according to the Bureau of Consumer Credit Protection.

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.

Usually only a little, if at all. Because many payday lenders don't use a traditional hard credit pull and often don't report to the major bureaus, a payday loan repaid on time typically has little effect on your score. A balance that goes unpaid and reaches collections could hurt it, so borrow an amount you can repay on your due date. Biddeford residents can see their options with our 3-minute form.

The terms are often used interchangeably. A payday loan is sometimes called a cash advance because it advances money against your next paycheck. A credit card cash advance is different: you withdraw cash against your card's credit limit, which requires available credit on a card. If you don't have card credit to tap, a payday loan through our network is a fast option. Check your options in about 3 minutes.

A lender may charge either the general consumer-loan finance charge (30% a year on the first $2,000 and lower tiers above that) or a flat minimum charge of no more than $5 if you borrow $75 or less, $15 if you borrow… Your lender shows the exact fee, total amount to repay, due date and APR before you sign, so you know the full cost upfront. There's no charge to use our form, and you're never obligated to accept an offer. Compare what lenders offer Biddeford borrowers in about 3 minutes.
