Q: What is a payday loan?
A:
A Payday loan provides you with a short-term cash advance until your next payday. Individuals like you often choose payday loans to cover small, unexpected, expenses and to avoid costly bounced-check fees or late payment penalties and other less desirable short-term credit options. You will need to be employed, have a permanent address, and an active checking account. See "What are the requirements for approval". A payday loan may also be called a Payday Advance or a Deferred Deposit Loan.
