Frequently asked questions

Payday-style loans are legal in Ohio only as 'short-term loans' from lenders licensed under the Short-Term Loan Act (as rewritten by House Bill 123, effective 2019). You can request one online from Springfield through our network; approval and terms are set by the lender.

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

How fast can I get a payday loan in Springfield?

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

What is a payday loan in Springfield?

A payday loan is a small, short-term loan, usually a few hundred dollars, that you repay in one payment on or around your next payday.

How do I get a payday loan in Springfield, OH?

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.

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 I need to visit a store in Springfield?

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.
