Frequently asked questions

Can I get a payday loan in Southfield, MI?

Payday loans (deferred presentment service transactions) are legal in Michigan from lenders licensed under the Deferred Presentment Service Transactions Act (2005 PA 244), with a $600 cap per loan, a tiered fee limit, a 31-day maximum term and a statewide database. You can request one online from Southfield through our network; approval and terms are set by the lender.

How much can I borrow with a payday loan in Southfield?

A licensee may make one payday loan to you for any amount up to $600 (fees not included).

How fast can I get a payday loan in Southfield?

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 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.

How do payday loans work in Southfield?

You fill out a short online request, a lender reviews your income and banking details, and if you're approved you see the amount, fee and due date before you sign. Funds are typically deposited into your checking account, often by the next business day. On your due date, repayment is usually taken from that same account. Southfield residents can start the process online 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. Southfield residents can request a payday advance online through our network in about 3 minutes.

Is a payday loan the same as a cash advance?

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.

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. Southfield residents can see if they qualify in about 3 minutes.

Do I need to visit a store in Southfield?

No. You can request offers online from a phone or computer. Some lenders, especially title lenders, may ask you to visit a location or send photos of your vehicle.
