What are the requirements for a loan?
The minimum requirements for a payday loan are:
To be approved for a loan, you need to meet the requirements of the specific lender with whom you are connected. The lender will evaluate your application and determine whether you are eligible based on its own set of approval criteria. Factors such as income, direct deposit of your pay, past payday loan history and state of residence, may affect the approval of your loan.
If your application is accepted by a lender, your assigned lender may contact you directly and ask for additional information in order to approve the application. Payday lenders utilize proprietary criteria to evaluate applicants and will approve your loan when your application matches their criteria.
In order to increase your chances of getting matched with a lender and ultimately approved for a loan, please be sure to fill out our application with honest verifiable information. For example, entering a cell phone number instead of a home phone makes it more difficult to verify your information and many lenders will not accept applications that cannot be verified.
We do our best to find a lender for you, but unfortunately there's no guarantee that your loan application will be accepted.
