Frequently asked questions
Can I get a payday loan in Portland, 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 Portland through our network; approval and terms are set by the lender.
How much does a $300 payday loan cost in Portland?
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 Portland?
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. Portland residents can see their options with our 3-minute form.
Do payday loans show up on your credit report?
Many payday lenders do not report regular, on-time payments to the three major credit bureaus, so the loan often doesn't appear on a standard credit report. Some lenders and specialty bureaus do track short-term loans, and an unpaid balance sent to collections can be reported. Your lender explains its reporting policy in the loan agreement. Ready to compare offers in Portland? Our form takes 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.
Where can I get a payday loan in Portland?
You can visit a storefront in Portland 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 Portland?
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. Portland residents can start the process online in about 3 minutes.
Do I need to visit a store in Portland?
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.
