Frequently asked questions

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

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

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 Madison?

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 Madison?

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

Where can I get a payday loan in Madison?

You can visit a storefront in Madison 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 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. Madison residents can see their options with our 3-minute form.

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. Madison residents can request a payday advance online through our network 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 Madison?

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.
