Frequently asked questions
Can I get a payday loan in Brookhaven, MS?
Payday loans (delayed deposit check cashing) are legal in Mississippi from check cashers licensed by DBCF under the Mississippi Check Cashers Act, Miss. You can request one online from Brookhaven through our network; approval and terms are set by the lender.
How much can I borrow with a payday loan in Brookhaven?

How much does a $300 payday loan cost in Brookhaven?
At Mississippi's cap of $20 per $100, the fee on $300 is $60, so you would repay $360 on your due date.
How fast can I get a payday loan in Brookhaven?
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 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.
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 Brookhaven? Our form takes 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. Brookhaven residents can see if they qualify in about 3 minutes.
Where can I get a payday loan in Brookhaven?
You can visit a storefront in Brookhaven or request a loan online without leaving home. Our free form sends one request to multiple lenders in our network, so you don't have to apply store by store. If a lender makes you an offer, you review the terms and decide whether to accept, with no obligation. It takes about 3 minutes to see if you qualify.
Do payday lenders in Brookhaven check your credit?
Most payday lenders check something, but it often isn't a traditional credit report. Many focus on income and banking history and may use alternative credit data or a soft check instead of a hard pull from the major bureaus. Each lender sets its own process and will tell you what it reviews. Submitting our form is free, and you can see if you qualify in about 3 minutes.
Do I need to visit a store in Brookhaven?
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.
