Frequently Asked Questions
Ok, I'm confused what is a payday loan and how does it work?
Basically a pay day loan is like post-dating a check. It's a
small short term loan that isn't secured (meaning you
don't have to sign over your house or car to get one). When done
online you borrow a small amount (from $100 up to $1,500) that is
deposited directly into your bank account. Then on your next payday
the funds you owe are automatically withdrawn from that same account.
This is commonly referred to as a payday loan, or a cash advance. It
helps you get fast cash when you really need it. Since the money is
deposited to and taken from your bank account (based on your payday),
there is no credit check needed making this a perfect bad credit loan
or loan for people who only need a small amount and need it quickly.
So instead of paying bank late charges or selling your merchandise,
payday personal loans are an incredible way to cover yourself.
USACashAdvance.com is here to help you find a payday loan lender. We
present your completed application to our vast network of lenders in
order to find a lender that is most likely to approve your loan. All
you have to do is fill out our quick application online and we will
match your specific needs to one of our many lenders, you can have
cash in your account as quickly as today.

What do I need to have to qualify for a loan?
The minimum requirements for a payday loan are:
- Be at least 18 years old.
- You need to be employed or getting regular benefits or income.
- You have to have an open and active bank account.
To be approved you need to meet the specific requirements of the
lender with which you are paired. The lender evaluates your
application and determines if you are eligible based on its own set of
approval criteria. Factors such as income, direct deposit of your pay,
past due pay day loans with other lenders and state of residence, may
affect the approval of your loan.
Once you application is accepted by a lender they may contact you to
ask for additional information. Payday lenders determine their own
criteria to evaluate applicants and will approve your loan when your
application matches those criteria.
To increase your chances of getting matched with a lender and getting
approved for a loan, please be sure to fill out our application with
honest information that you can be verified. For instance, using 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.

How do I get a payday loan?
Very simple: apply using our easy form.
If we match you with a lender, you might need to electronically sign
and agree to the terms & conditions of the loan. However, there is no
obligation to accept the loan. If you don't like the terms of
the loan, simply don't sign it, you can then apply again to
find a different lender, and since we do not check your credit you
have no worries of negatively affecting your credit rating by sending
in multiple applications.
Usually the funds from your loan are electronically deposited into
your bank account by the lender the next business day. You will
usually have the ability to choose the payment option that works best
for you. All payments are processed by your lender by electronic
transfer from your bank account. Availability of funds may vary
according to the rules of your financial institution.

How much time do I have to pay back the loan?
In most cases the loan is due on your next pay date. Most lenders
however, allow you to extend your loan by paying a fee or the
interest.
Once we send you to a lender, you will be directed to your lenders
loan documents. There you will find specific instructions for your
options when your loan is due. Most lenders give you the following
options:
- Do nothing and your loan will auto-finance, meaning you pay
the interest only on the principal and the loan rolls over again till
your next payday.
- Pay the full balance of the loan with interest.
- Renew the loan and pay interest and part of the principal. Please contact your lender directly if you have repayment questions.
