Frequently asked questions

Can I get a payday loan in Maryland Heights, MO?

Payday loans (unsecured loans of $500 or less) are legal in Missouri from lenders licensed by the Division of Finance under RSMo 408.500-408.506. You can request one online from Maryland Heights through our network; approval and terms are set by the lender.

How much can I borrow with a payday loan in Maryland Heights?

Payday loans are loans of $500 or less, and a lender (with its affiliates) may not have more than $500 in payday loans outstanding to you at one time.

How fast can I get a payday loan in Maryland Heights?

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 lenders in Maryland Heights 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.

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

How much does a payday loan cost in Maryland Heights?
