Payday loans are repaid within a certain time frame, usually two weeks. Usually, all that is required to get a payday loan is to be over 18 years of age, fill out an application and provide items such as paycheck stubs and a photo ID. You should also be making over a thousand dollars a month at your job. Then you sign a loan contract, write a postdated check to the lender, and receive your money.

Requirements for paycheck loans may vary, but usually you will post-date a check (3 days to 12 weeks) with the amount of your loan plus some interest. You are typically able to pay back your payday loan prior to the date on your original check and save some interest charges.

You can get a paycheck advance for amounts of $100, $200 or even up to $2500 or more. You will either get a check, cash or funds electronically transferred into your checking account overnight, the next business day or in just a few days.

Can I Apply for a Paycheck Advance?

Even people with limited cash options, unstable credit, bad credit or low-income individuals can obtain payday loans. Many lenders won't require a credit check regardless of your credit history.

Sometimes the longer you use a certain payday advance service, the better line of credit you can obtain as long as you are making your scheduled payments. Some will also let you extend your loan if needed.

Payday loans are typically not the only solution for people in need of emergency cash. There are many alternatives to these loans like short-term loan options from local credit unions or even banks. You can get salary advances from your employer in most cases. You can also use a credit card advance if that's available to you. If you are looking for money to pay back one of your creditors, you should first contact them and see if you can work out a reasonable plan for repayment.
