Do payday lenders in West Fargo check your credit?

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?
