How do I get a payday loan in Birmingham, MI?

Have a few basics ready: a government-issued ID, proof of regular income, an active checking account, and a working phone number and email. Then complete our secure online form. Lenders review your request, and many give a decision within minutes. If you're approved, you'll see the full terms before signing. Most Birmingham borrowers can finish the form in about 3 minutes.

Do payday loans affect your credit score?

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. Birmingham residents can see their options with our 3-minute form.

What is a payday loan in Birmingham?

Through our free form you can be matched with lenders in our network, with amounts depending on the lender and Michigan rules. See if you qualify in about 3 minutes.

How much does a payday loan cost in Birmingham?

The service fee may not exceed 15% of the first $100, 14% of the second $100, 13% of the third $100, 12% of the fourth $100 and 11% of the fifth and sixth $100 - $76 on a $600 loan - plus any allowed database… Your lender shows the exact fee, total amount to repay, due date and APR before you sign, so you know the full cost upfront.

Do payday loans show up on your credit report?

Many payday lenders do not report regular, on-time payments to the three major credit bureaus, so the loan often doesn't appear on a standard credit report. Some lenders and specialty bureaus do track short-term loans, and an unpaid balance sent to collections can be reported. Your lender explains its reporting policy in the loan agreement. Ready to compare offers in Birmingham? Our form takes about 3 minutes.

Do I need to visit a store in Birmingham?
