Frequently Asked Questions
How fast will I get the funds?
When you apply for a $255 payday loan online, the money may be transferred to your bank account the same day if you complete the process before 10:30 AM on a business day. Otherwise, the funds will be deposited on the next business day. California residents can also visit one of our stores and receive cash immediately by providing a post-dated check.
Do direct lenders check credit?
It depends on the lender. At Cash Loans Bear, loans usually do not involve a hard credit check. However, a soft inquiry is still performed to evaluate your eligibility. Avoid lenders who advertise loans with no credit check at all. They typically drive borrowers into debt and charge high late and rollover fees.
Why can I only borrow $255?
A limit of $255 is set by California law to protect borrowers from debt cycles. As payday loans need to be repaid over a short period, borrowing a high amount can make it difficult to manage debt. However, you can borrow more with our installment loans, up to $5,000.
How many loans can I have at a time?
California law only allows borrowers to have one payday loan at a time. This limit is reasonable because accumulating multiple payday loans makes it more difficult to repay the money on time.
Are there alternatives to cash advances in California?
If a cash advance does not fit your needs because of the small amount and short repayment term, consider an installment loan or a payday alternative loan instead. For a cheaper, short-term option, borrow money from a cash advance app or ask your family or friends for help.
