Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to common questions about our payday loan services.
The speed at which you receive funds from a payday loan depends on the lender and your application's approval. Many online payday lenders offer instant loans today, meaning you could receive the funds on the same day or within 24 hours of approval.
Generally, there are no specific restrictions on how you can use payday loan funds. You can use the money for any personal expenses such as emergency bills, car repairs, medical expenses, or other urgent financial needs. However, it's important to use the funds responsibly and ensure you can repay the loan on time.
Most payday lenders require you to have an active checking or savings account with direct deposit capability. This is necessary for the lender to deposit funds and collect repayment. Some lenders may accept prepaid debit cards, but having a traditional bank account significantly increases your chances of approval.
If you can't repay your payday loan on time, contact your lender immediately to discuss options. Some lenders may offer rollover or extension options, though these typically come with additional fees. Late payments can result in additional charges, and the lender may attempt to collect through your bank account. It's important to communicate with your lender to avoid more serious consequences.
Yes, payday loan consolidation is possible through debt consolidation companies or personal loans with better terms. Consolidation can help you combine multiple payday loans into a single payment with potentially lower interest rates. However, carefully review the terms and ensure the consolidation actually improves your financial situation before proceeding.
Repeatedly using payday loans can lead to a cycle of debt due to high fees and short repayment terms. This can result in borrowing more money to pay off existing loans, creating a dangerous pattern that's difficult to break. It's recommended to use payday loans only for genuine emergencies and explore other financial alternatives when possible.

APR Disclosure
Annual Percentage Rate (APR) refers to the annual interest generated by a sum that is then charged to borrowers. APR is expressed as a percentage that represents the annual cost of borrowing over the term of the loan. This figure includes any fees or additional costs associated with the loan. The APR provides consumers with one bottom-line number they can compare with other loan offers, credit cards, or investment products. StayHealthyCalifornia cannot guarantee any APR as we are not a lender ourselves. An APR can generally run between 5.99% up to 35.99%. Loan products generally have a 61-day minimum repayment term and a 6 year maximum repayment term. When considering accepting a loan from a lender within the StayHealthyCalifornia network, please read any agreement documentation carefully as the APR and repayment terms may differ from what is listed on this site.
