Frequently asked questions

Can I get a payday loan in Worthington, 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 Worthington through our network; approval and terms are set by the lender.

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

A short-term loan may not exceed $1,000.

How fast can I get a payday loan in Worthington?

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

What is a payday advance loan?

A payday advance loan is another name for a payday loan: a short-term advance on your next paycheck. You borrow a small amount and repay it, plus a fee, when you're next paid. The process is quick because lenders look mainly at your income and checking account. Worthington residents can request a payday advance online through our network in about 3 minutes.

How much does a payday loan cost in Worthington?

Interest is capped at 28% a year. Your lender shows the exact fee, total amount to repay, due date and APR before you sign, so you know the full cost upfront.

What is a payday loan in Worthington?

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. Borrowers in Worthington can request one online from home instead of visiting a storefront. Through our free form you can be matched with lenders in our network, with amounts depending on the lender and Ohio rules. See if you qualify 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. Worthington residents can see if they qualify in about 3 minutes.

Do I need to visit a store in Worthington?

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.
