Frequently asked questions

Can I get a payday loan in Virginia Beach, VA?

Payday-style loans are legal in Virginia only as 'short-term loans' from lenders licensed under Chapter 18 of Title 6.2, as rewritten by the Fairness in Lending Act (effective January 1, 2021). You can request one online from Virginia Beach through our network; approval and terms are set by the lender.

How much can I borrow with a payday loan in Virginia Beach?

A short-term loan may not exceed $2,500, and a lender may not have you owe it more than $2,500 in principal at any time.

How fast can I get a payday loan in Virginia Beach?

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. Virginia Beach 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 Virginia Beach? Our form takes about 3 minutes.

How do I get a payday loan in Virginia Beach, VA?

Have a few basics ready: a government-issued ID, proof of regular income, an active checking account, and a working phone number and email. Then complete our secure online form. Lenders review your request, and many give a decision within minutes. If you're approved, you'll see the full terms before signing. Most Virginia Beach borrowers can finish the form in about 3 minutes.

How much does a payday loan cost in Virginia Beach?

Interest at a simple annual rate of no more than 36%, plus a monthly maintenance fee of no more than 8% of the original loan amount or $25, whichever is less (the fee may not be added to the balance that earns interest). 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 Virginia Beach borrowers 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. Virginia Beach residents can see their options with our 3-minute form.

Do I need to visit a store in Virginia Beach?

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.
