Frequently asked questions

Can I get a payday loan in Ypsilanti, 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 Ypsilanti through our network; approval and terms are set by the lender.

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

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 Ypsilanti?

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.

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

How much does a payday loan cost in Ypsilanti?

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. There's no charge to use our form, and you're never obligated to accept an offer. Compare what lenders offer Ypsilanti borrowers 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. Ypsilanti residents can request a payday advance online through our network in about 3 minutes.

How do I get a payday loan in Ypsilanti, 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 Ypsilanti borrowers can finish the form 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. Ypsilanti residents can see if they qualify in about 3 minutes.

Do I need to visit a store in Ypsilanti?

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.
