Frequently asked questions
Can I get a payday loan in Astoria, OR?
Payday loans are legal in Oregon from lenders licensed by the Division of Financial Regulation under ORS chapter 725A. You can request one online from Astoria through our network; approval and terms are set by the lender.
How much does a $300 payday loan cost in Astoria?
At Oregon's cap of $10 per $100, the fee on $300 is $30, so you would repay $330 on your due date.
How fast can I get a payday loan in Astoria?
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 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. Astoria residents can see if they qualify 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 Oregon rules, lenders may offer payday or installment options. Compare them in about 3 minutes.
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.
