Frequently asked questions

Can I get a payday loan in Republic, MO?

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

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 Republic?

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.

How much does a payday loan cost in Republic?

Interest and fees are whatever the parties agree to (simple interest), but you can never be required to pay total interest and fees of more than 75% of the original loan amount for the loan and all its renewals combined. Your lender shows the exact fee, total amount to repay, due date and APR before you sign, so you know the full cost upfront. There's no charge to use our form, and you're never obligated to accept an offer. Compare what lenders offer Republic borrowers 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. Republic 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 Missouri rules, lenders may offer payday or installment options. Compare them 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.
