Frequently asked questions

Can I get a payday loan in Stow, OH?

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 Stow through our network; approval and terms are set by the lender.

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

How fast can I get a payday loan in Stow?

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.

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.

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 Ohio rules, lenders may offer payday or installment options. Compare them in about 3 minutes.
