Frequently Asked Questions

Do you perform a credit check?

A soft credit check is performed as part of the underwriting process. This check helps us evaluate your ability to repay without affecting your credit score. Avoid lenders who promote loans with no credit check at all. They typically earn money from high rollover and late fees.

When will my loan funds be deposited?

Funds are usually deposited the next business day after approval. Your bank’s cut-off times and approval time also affect the speed of the process.

Is it possible to receive the money on the same day?

Same-day funding may be available if you finalize your loan before 10:30 AM on a business day. Instant cash may be available in-store if you provide a post-dated check.

What will happen if I miss my loan payment?

Missed payments may result in late or NSF fees, depending on the terms of your loan agreement. If you default, your account may be sold to collections, which may affect your credit score. If you have trouble making a payment, contact your lender to discuss a payment plan.

Are there alternatives to payday and installment loans available in Maine?

Borrowers with good credit can consider traditional personal loans, especially if they need to borrow a larger amount. If your credit is not great, a payday alternative loan from a credit union may be a good solution. If you are looking for a simple way to access cash without traditional interest charges, you might consider a cash advance app or borrowing from family.
