What is a payday loan?
It’s a small (usually under $1,000), short-term, no-collateral, cash advance. It is backed by future income. This may be your next paycheck, a dividend or other type of regular income. The term of the loan is usually 30 days or less.
Payday loans are meant for emergencies. If you find yourself using them to pay regular bills, you should consider credit counseling, debt-management aid or other type of assistance. There are nonprofit agencies that help consumers who have ongoing, excessive debt.
