Be mindful, just like when you complete a loan application in-person, loan amounts, interest rates, and lengths can vary from lender to lender.
The best part of an online payday loan application is that it usually only takes a few minutes to get done. For most lenders, you'll need to upload and submit from your laptop or mobile phone:
- A valid government-issued ID (like a driver's license)
- Proof of income (pay stubs, bank statements, etc)
- Your social security number
- An account where you can receive your loan (such as a checking account)
Most online lenders will also ask for your email address, phone number, and home address so they have a way to contact you with updates on your application and loan.
If you qualify for a payday loan online, you'll be sent a loan offer with its terms and conditions ā and usually after just a few minutes! You can sign this loan electronically, but make sure you know what you're getting into.
You should only sign a payday loan agreement if you're confident you can pay it off by your next payday. A lot of payday loans come with super-high fees, which can make them harder to pay off than you'd expect.[1]
