Payday loans can be processed in a matter of minutes over the
internet. Within hours, you can have up to $1000 transferred
into your checking account. However, you will need to provide
some basic financial information to process your loan. But,
requests for too much information are a warning of a scam.
Basic Info Required
To process your application, a payday loan lender will need your
contact information, checking account number, and job
information. With a faxless application, you simply type in the
information. Otherwise, you will need to use a fax to send
copies of your driver's license, pay stub and a voided check.
With your personal information, the lender wants to be able to
contact you if there is a problem with your account. They also
want to verify that you are 18 or older.
Checking account information is need since the cash advance will
be wired to your account. Your lender will also debit your
payment. They also want to check that there are no outstanding
checks.
Payday loan companies also check to see that you have a steady
source of income with a job or pension check. With an employer,
they will also verify that you have been employed for more than
30 days.
What Not To Share
Never give out your pin number to any of your accounts. A lender
does not need it to deposit or withdraw from your checking
account if they are legitimate. And they don't need it to verify
that you have credit cards.
Be especially wary of handing out your personal information,
including social security number, personal description, or
license plate number. Social security numbers are used for
tracking purposes, but be sure you know who you are handing out
the information too. Other personal information is often used
for identity theft purposes.
Look For Lender's Name And Address
Before signing up with a lender, look for the company's name and
address on their website. If you can't find it, request it by
phone or email. This way you can contact the lender if you are
having problems. Avoid those companies that don't respond. They
are probably going to be shady or difficult to work with.
