One fee, set by law

The one-fee math, worked out before you apply

A payday cash advance carries a single finance charge on a single due date — so the honest question is just "what does my state allow?" Three worked examples, checked October 2026:

MarketLoanMax feeYou repayWhere the number comes from

California $300 $45 $315 statutory cap: $15 per $100 on a 14–31 day loan

Florida $500 $55 $555 10% fee + $5 verification fee, 7–31 day term (Ch. 560)

No-cap states (TX, NV, ID…) $500 $75–$150 $575–$650 market pricing, typically $15–$30 per $100 for 2 weeks

Cross a state line and the price of the same $500 changes by up to $75 — that is why the fee belongs to the state, and why every lender offer names its own APR (typically 35.99%–359.99% on short terms) before you sign.

How it works

Three steps, one payday

One Form

Email, name, amount — about two minutes. No fee to submit, no documents uploaded, no obligation to take any offer that comes back.

One Review

Lenders that serve your state review the request against your income and checking account — a soft check that never touches your score.

One Payday

Accept one offer and repay a single lump sum on your next payday — or stretch the same request into installment terms where they're offered.

Pick your amount

Borrow the smallest amount that solves it

Cost compounds with every extra hundred dollars — start at the number that covers the actual gap, not the round one. Every tile opens the same one-form request.

Need more room? The same form reaches installment lenders up to $5,000 with terms in months — see the tribal loans hub or start a $2,000 request.

Coverage

Serviced in 46 states and DC

The matching network reaches licensed lenders across 46 US jurisdictions — every state plus the District of Columbia, except the five excluded from the service entirely: Arkansas, New York, New Hampshire, Vermont, and West Virginia.

Looking for the sovereign route instead? The tribal installment loans hub covers the same map with 3–24 month terms.

Why one form here

Built to be plain, not pushy

Matching, not lending

We are an advertising referral service. Any loan comes from an independent licensed lender under its own terms — we never touch your price.

Soft check to see offers

Submitting a request leaves your credit report untouched. A hard inquiry happens only if you accept an offer and that lender runs one.

Free to apply, always

Lenders pay us for advertising — never you. If a request earns nothing, you have still paid exactly nothing to ask.

Fee math before offers

Every page shows how state caps translate into dollars — so the lender's disclosed fee lands as a checkable number, not a surprise.

Vetted & public

Trusted lenders & resources

Places we send readers who want a second opinion — independent guides, a lender map, and licensed lenders. External sites set their own terms and pricing.

Short answers

Payday questions, answered straight

How much can I borrow with one application?

Payday loans on this site run $100 to $1,000 — the ceiling is your state's cap, not our form. Where a bigger gap needs more time, the same one-form request can reach installment lenders offering $1,000–$5,000 repaid over months instead of one paycheck.

What will my loan actually cost?

The fee is set by state law where a cap exists: about $45 maximum on a $300 loan in a 15%-fee state, $55 maximum on a $500 loan in Florida. In states without a fixed cap, market pricing of $15–$30 per $100 for two weeks is typical. Whichever lender offers you a loan must disclose the exact fee and APR before you sign.

Can I apply with bad credit?

Yes. Payday lenders decide on your income and checking account, not your score. Seeing offers through our form uses a soft check, which leaves no mark on your credit report; a hard pull happens only if you accept a lender's offer and that lender chooses to run one.

How fast does the money arrive?

Applications a lender approves before its daily cutoff can be funded the same business day; anything later lands the next business day. Applications over the weekend fund on Monday. Your bank's posting schedule applies on top of that.

Is Payday One Loans a lender?

No — and we say so everywhere, not just in the fine print. We are a matching and editorial service: one form routes your request to independent licensed lenders, and any loan you take is from the lender, under its own terms and pricing. Applying here costs nothing.

What do I need to qualify?

Four basics: be at least 18 and a US resident, show verifiable income (a job, benefits, or a pension all count), and hold an active checking account for the deposit and repayment. Residents of Arkansas, New York, New Hampshire, Vermont, and West Virginia are not eligible for this service.
