Frequently asked questions

Can I get a payday loan in Florence, SC?

Payday loans (deferred presentment services) are legal in South Carolina from lenders licensed by the State Board of Financial Institutions under Title 34, Chapter 39. You can request one online from Florence through our network; approval and terms are set by the lender.

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

No more than $550 advanced to you at one time, not counting the fee.

How fast can I get a payday loan in Florence?

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. Florence 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 Florence? Our form takes about 3 minutes.

Where can I get a payday loan in Florence?

You can visit a storefront in Florence 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.

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. Florence residents can see if they qualify in about 3 minutes.

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. Florence residents can request a payday advance online through our network in about 3 minutes.

Do I need to visit a store in Florence?

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.
