What is a payday loan in Cambridge?

Do payday lenders in Cambridge check your credit?

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. Cambridge residents can see if they qualify in about 3 minutes.
Do I need to visit a store in Cambridge?
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.
