Frequently asked questions
Can I get a payday loan in Medford, 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 Medford through our network; approval and terms are set by the lender.
How much does a $300 payday loan cost in Medford?
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 Medford?
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.
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. Medford residents can request a payday advance online through our network in about 3 minutes.
Where can I get a payday loan in Medford?
You can visit a storefront in Medford or request a loan online without leaving home. Our free form sends one request to multiple lenders in our network, so you don't have to apply store by store. If a lender makes you an offer, you review the terms and decide whether to accept, with no obligation. It takes about 3 minutes to see if you qualify.
How do payday loans work in Medford?
You fill out a short online request, a lender reviews your income and banking details, and if you're approved you see the amount, fee and due date before you sign. Funds are typically deposited into your checking account, often by the next business day. On your due date, repayment is usually taken from that same account. Medford residents can start the process online in about 3 minutes.
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. Medford residents can see their options with our 3-minute form.
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. Medford residents can see if they qualify in about 3 minutes.
Do I need to visit a store in Medford?
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.
