Payday Loan Benefits
Benefits of getting a Payday Loan from Payday Today
Easy application
Payday Loans come with easy applications that you can complete in just a few minutes. Payday Today lets you apply online or in store, so you may be able to fill out an application from the comfort of your home.
Quick approval
Payday Today offers a super quick approval decision, so you may find out right away whether you’re approved for a Payday Loan. If approved, in many cases you can receive the funds the same day you apply or within 24 hours.
Good credit not required
Payday Today is not as strict as other lenders and approves borrowers with all credit score levels. We consider other factors in addition to your credit score when deciding whether to approve you, such as your income and employment history (must have 60 days of employment history). So you can still get approved even if your credit score is not so good.
