Frequently asked questions

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 Tupelo through our network; approval and terms are set by the lender.

How much does a $300 payday loan cost in Tupelo?

How fast can I get a payday loan in Tupelo?

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