Frequently asked questions

Can I get a payday loan in Auburn, WA?

Payday loans ('small loans') are legal in Washington from check cashers or sellers that hold a DFI small loan endorsement under RCW 31.45. You can request one online from Auburn through our network; approval and terms are set by the lender.

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

$700 or 30% of your gross monthly income, whichever is lower. This limit applies to the total outstanding principal of all small loans from all licensees at one time.

How fast can I get a payday loan in Auburn?

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.

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

Where can I get a payday loan in Auburn?

You can visit a storefront in Auburn 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.

What is a payday loan in Auburn?

A payday loan is a small, short-term loan, usually a few hundred dollars, that you repay in one payment on or around your next payday. Borrowers in Auburn can request one online from home instead of visiting a storefront. Through our free form you can be matched with lenders in our network, with amounts depending on the lender and Washington rules. See if you qualify 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 Washington rules, lenders may offer payday or installment options. Compare them in about 3 minutes.

How much does a payday loan cost in Auburn?

Total interest and fees may not exceed 15% of the first $500 of principal and 10% of any principal above $500. Your lender shows the exact fee, total amount to repay, due date and APR before you sign, so you know the full cost upfront.
