Frequently asked questions
Can I get a payday loan in Jackson, 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 Jackson through our network; approval and terms are set by the lender.
How much can I borrow with a payday loan in Jackson?
Your check (loan plus fee) may not be for more than $500, and you may not have more than $500 in total outstanding, fees included. DBCF's example: you write a $500 check, pay a $90 fee and receive $410.
How much does a $300 payday loan cost in Jackson?
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 Jackson?
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 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. Jackson residents can see their options with our 3-minute form.
How do payday loans work in Jackson?
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. Jackson residents can start the process online 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. Jackson residents can see if they 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 Mississippi rules, lenders may offer payday or installment options. Compare them in about 3 minutes.
Do I need to visit a store in Jackson?
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.
