The No Credit Check Personal Loan

By Jimi Morrison

There are dozens of people who take advantage of the opportunity to apply for personal loans such as payday loans. These are also called cash advances. To obtain one of these loans, someone can look at businesses found in their town or there are places which approve online. However, it is good to look for reputable businesses because there are many predatory lenders.

To search for a business which offers these cash advances, one can look online or in the telephone book. An example of a store that is found in many states is Check Into Cash. These businesses may also be apparent in town with signs advertising cash advances or payday loans.

These businesses also have a variety of services which they offer besides payday loans. Some businesses do employee check cashing for a small fee. They may provide money orders or a bill pay service. Wire transfers are common, as are purchasing prepaid cards. Other items that may be sold are things such as stamps and the use of their fax or copy machine.

To qualify for a loan, the customer will need to provide certain documents to the company. The following are common examples of the paperwork. A current bank statement is needed to show that you have a current bank account in good standing. A post-dated check will be needed, too, which is why they need to verify your bank account. This check will be used for payment when the loan is due. Next, they will want proof of income such as pay check stubs. There are other documents that they may need, but these are the primary ones.

The teller will collect these documents and review the items. Once approved, you can decide the amount you would like to loan. There are limits on the amount you can receive based on your monthly income. As an example, if you made less than $1500 per month, you may be eligible to only take $150 as a loan. However, if you made $3000 per month, you might be eligible for more, such as $255 per payday loan.

Each state has laws which only allow these stores to loan a certain amount to customers. Actual amounts in the following states are examples. Washington State can loan a maximum of $700, or Nevada can loan up to $5000 to people.

These loans do charge interest, and again, this applies to the state the loan takes place. These loans are short-term, and they are designed to be paid back at the next payday. They will use the check they required for approval, and it will be post-dated for the amount loaned plus interest.

The interest rates for these loans are rather steep usually under 20%. The reason for this high rate is that these are short-term loans usually about two weeks and are paid back at the next payday. There is no credit check done, and they use only the paperwork to approve these loans. A banking institution may charge much lower rates, but they will do a credit check. The person applying for a loan may either not qualify for banking loans, or they may really need extra cash immediately. So, they provide a helpful service to certain customers.
