Is a payday loan the same as a cash advance?

What is a payday loan in Lansing?

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.
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 Michigan rules, lenders may offer payday or installment options. Compare them in about 3 minutes.
