Frequently Asked Questions

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.

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.

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.
