Frequently asked questions
Can I get a payday loan in Lexington, 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 Lexington through our network; approval and terms are set by the lender.
How much can I borrow with a payday loan in Lexington?
No more than $550 advanced to you at one time, not counting the fee.
How fast can I get a payday loan in Lexington?
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. Lexington residents can see their options with our 3-minute form.
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. Lexington residents can request a payday advance online through our network in about 3 minutes.
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 Lexington? Our form takes about 3 minutes.
