Products & Services
The exact amount you can get depends on your income and existing debts. In Maryland, small-dollar loans are made under the Maryland Consumer Loan Law and overseen by the Maryland Commissioner of Financial Regulation. The law caps interest at 33% APR on the first $1,000 of a loan and 24% APR on any amount above that; loans over $2,000 are capped at 24% APR in full1. Since payday loans aren’t legal in Maryland, borrowers here can apply for installment loans from $100 up to $5,000. Your ability to repay affects the final decision.
In most cases, borrowers get their funds within 1 business day after approval. If you finalize your loan before 10 AM on a business day, the money can be transferred to you on the same day. In-store applicants can get instant cash after approval if they provide a check for repayment.
