What is a payday loan?
A payday loan, also known as a payday advance, deferred deposit loan or cash advance, is a small loan typically between $100 and $1000 that’s used to cover small, often unexpected expenses. These types of loans are short-term, typically between 8 and 38 days, though in some states it could be longer or shorter.

How do I apply?
Just fill out the online payday loan application. If you’re approved, you simply have to sign a few agreements and get your loan. Your contract will clearly state the terms of the agreement, including repayment date, the amount required to repay your loan in full and the Annual Percentage Rate (APR) that applies to your loan. Like with any other contract, you’ll want to read carefully to understand all the terms before signing.

How long does the process take?
In most cases, if you apply online and are approved, your money will be directly deposited into your account within one business day. However, if you applied after 7pm Central or over the weekend, the process will begin on the next business day, and your money will usually be deposited on the business day after that.

What are the minimum requirements?
To apply for a loan, all you need is a current U.S.-issued photo ID, a verifiable source of income, an active checking account and a working phone.

Will you check my credit score?
Your credit score will not be used by LendNation. Your personal information, which you submit and is confirmed as part of the application process, along with any additional information we may have access to, will be used to determine the maximum amount you can borrow. Things like your employment, income and banking information are all examples of personal information we use.

How much can I borrow?
We can typically lend between $100 and $1,000. The maximum loan you can receive varies by state and is based on your personal information, including your employment, income and banking information, which you submit as part of the application process. In addition, first time borrowers are limited to a maximum loan of $500.

What is the loan fee?
Each state regulates the fees and interest that can be charged for a payday loan in their state. For a description of the specific fees in your state, please enter your zip code to view state specific product details.

When will my loan payment be due?
Your loan payment is typically due on your next pay date.

What are my options when my loan is due?
An ACH electronic debit transaction will automatically be processed on your bank account as noted with your authorization in your loan agreements. This ACH transaction is the amount you borrowed plus interest and applicable fees and will pay off the loan. If you prefer, you can login to your LendNation account before your payment is due and make a debit card payment. Some states allow the option to renew the term of the loan until your next scheduled payday. If your state allows this option, you can access your account on our website and request to renew your loan.
