Frequently asked questions

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 Gaffney through our network; approval and terms are set by the lender.
How much can I borrow with a payday loan in Gaffney?
No more than $550 advanced to you at one time, not counting the fee.
How fast can I get a payday loan in Gaffney?
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.
How much does a payday loan cost in Gaffney?
The fee may not exceed 15% of the principal and may be charged only once per agreement. Your lender shows the exact fee, total amount to repay, due date and APR before you sign, so you know the full cost upfront. There's no charge to use our form, and you're never obligated to accept an offer. Compare what lenders offer Gaffney borrowers in about 3 minutes.
How do payday loans work in Gaffney?
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. Gaffney residents can start the process online 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 South Carolina rules, lenders may offer payday or installment options. Compare them 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. Gaffney residents can request a payday advance online through our network 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. Gaffney residents can see their options with our 3-minute form.
Do I need to visit a store in Gaffney?
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.
