Frequently asked questions

Can I get a payday loan in Stevens Point, WI?

Payday loans are legal in Wisconsin from lenders licensed by DFI under Wis. You can request one online from Stevens Point through our network; approval and terms are set by the lender.

How much can I borrow with a payday loan in Stevens Point?

A lender may not make a payday loan that leaves you owing all payday lenders combined more than $1,500 or 35% of your gross monthly income, whichever is less, counting principal, interest and all fees.

How fast can I get a payday loan in Stevens Point?

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. Stevens Point residents can request a payday advance online through our network 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 Wisconsin rules, lenders may offer payday or installment options. Compare them in about 3 minutes.

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. Stevens Point residents can see if they qualify 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. Stevens Point residents can see their options with our 3-minute form.

How much does a payday loan cost in Stevens Point?

No limit on the interest a licensee may charge before the maturity date. 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 Stevens Point borrowers in about 3 minutes.

Do I need to visit a store in Stevens Point?

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.
