Payday loans these days are getting very common. You have certainly heard of them by now, and you are now wondering if one could, or should, have your name on it. Here are some things you need to know about payday loans to help decide if one could meet your needs for cash.

They Are Quick

Probably the best thing about a payday loan is the speed that you can get one. Lenders that offer payday loans will often even promise that you can have your cash in as little as 30 minutes. They do not take long to apply for one, often less than 10 minutes, and you can soon have the cash you need. Nearly all lenders will have the cash you need within 24 hours.

No Credit Rating Needed

Lenders that provide cash for payday loans will not check your credit rating - it just does not matter to them. This means that you could have the worst credit rating imaginable, but still could be able to get a payday loan if you meet the simple qualifications. No collateral will be asked for, either. 

Simple Qualifications

In order for you to get a payday loan, you just need to meet a couple of requirements. They are simple. The first one is that you need to be working somewhere and you need to have been employed there for at least two months. They will verify your place of employment and how long you have worked there. In addition, you will need to make at least $1,000 per month - some may require $1,500 per month. 

A final qualification is that you will need a checking account. To get your money, it will need to be deposited into this account, and they will also take it out of this account on payday. You will need to authorize them to make the withdrawal on a specified day, or, write them a check for the amount borrowed plus interest. 

The Interest

The interest is usually between 25 to 30% - some may be as low as 15%. It will be stated on the application when you fill it out, so there will be no surprises later on. There may be the option to roll the loan over an additional payday, which means that the interest will now be doubled. If you want to do this, you generally will need to pay the interest on the first loan before it will be extended. While it is an option, but as you can see, it is not something you really want to do. 

Before you apply, be sure to shop around a little bit to find one that has the lowest interest rate and will give you the quickest service. While certainly not for extended loans, a payday loan could be just right because of their ease and convenience. It is an easy way to get that extra cash to hold you over, or buy that item you want that just came on sale – until payday.
