What is a payday loan?
A payday loan is designed to be used for short-term financial needs. The due
date will be your next payday (up to 21 days). It is not a solution for longer
term financial problems for which longer term financing may be more
appropriate. Payday advance fees are, however, lower than many of consumers'
alternatives.
In comparison, when expressed as APRs for 14-day terms:
-
$100 payday loan with $30 fee = 782.14% APR
-
$100 bounced check with $25 NSF + $24 merchant fees = 1,278% APR
-
$100 utility bill with $50 in late fees and reconnect fees = 1,304% APR

What is required to get a loan?
The prospective borrower will need a verifiable job or proven source of income
of at least $1,000 gross (before taxes and deductions) monthly, and a checking
account that has been open for at least 30 days in which the borrower's
paycheck is deposited electronically (aka direct deposit) into the account. The
borrower will also need a verifiable email address and a home phone, and the
borrower must be at least 18 years of age. All signed Loan Agreements are
subject to verification of prior loan history and application data.
The application will be either approved or declined based on our evaluation of
the information you provide. On rare occasions, we may ask customers to fax
additional information.

How much can be borrowed?
As a first-time applicant, borrowers can choose $100 to $300 to borrow. After
paying off the first loan, a customer can borrow up to $600!

How soon can a borrower access the
cash?
If the application is approved by 8 pm EST, the funds will be electronically
transferred (ACH) to the borrowers bank that day (Monday through Friday
excluding bank holidays). The funds should arrive at the bank on the following
Business Day. Weekend requests will be treated as though they are Monday
requests, so funds requested on a Saturday will not appear in a checking
account until the following Tuesday.
*Note: Some banks can take two (2) days to process and
transfer the funds into your account. You may wish to contact the ACH
department of your bank to verify that the funds have been credited to your
account. FlashLoans.com accepts neither responsibility nor liability for delays
caused by an outside financial institution.

What if the borrower has poor
credit or has filed bankruptcy?
Poor credit ratings will not affect the approval of a loan. That said, we will
not be able to extend a cash advance to those who have filed for bankruptcy
within the past year or those who have filed multiple times.

Do you perform a credit check?

due?

date. However, if at any time you have a discrepancy with your due date we

Service Department at 866-825-1903.

made on by the due date?

Customers who are unable to make payments by the due date should immediately
contact the FlashLoans.com Customer Service Department at 866-825-1903 to work
out other arrangements.
