Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Get answers to common questions about our payday loan services and how StayHealthyCalifornia works.

stayhealthycalifornia.com is not a lender and does not make credit decisions. stayhealthycalifornia.com is a loan connecting service. We connect consumers who are looking for financial assistance with independent, third party lenders who may be able to provide a loan.

You begin by filling out the simple form. Your information is then shared with third party lenders who may make you a loan offer. You are under no obligation to accept the offer, but if you do, the lender will provide the instructions to do so. Every third party lender has their own terms and conditions. Please consult these before accepting the loan offer. In particular, check for information on the APR, fees, renewal terms and consequences of non-payment.

If you have any questions about your loan, please contact your lender.

Registering with stayhealthycalifornia.com is free to you, the consumer. We are paid by independent, third party lenders for potential customer referrals.

Each third party lender will have its own fees, APR and terms. These charges come directly from the lender and not from stayhealthycalifornia.com.

These fees and charges will be provided to you at the time of the loan offer, if one is made. You are under no obligation to accept them. Your loan is accepted by you when you electronically "sign" the offer and send back to the lender.

Read all documents for the terms and conditions of the loan.

Payday loans are usually between $100 and $1,000. Installment loans range between $100 and $5,000 and Personal loans are usually between $500 and $35,000. You will make a request for a loan amount. If you receive a loan offer, it may not match the amount you requested. Loan offers may vary for several reasons including the individual lender, employment, income and other factors.

The transfer to your bank account could happen as early as the next business day. Times will vary depending upon your lender and your financial institution. If you have additional questions regarding the transfer time, please contact your third party lender.

Individual, third party lenders have different minimum requirements, but the following constitute typical minimum requirements:

  • Be at least 18 years of age or older
  • Have a checking or savings account with direct deposit
  • Have regular income of at least $1,000 per month
  • Have a fair credit rating (for personal loans only)
  • Must Not be a regular or reserve member of the Air Force, Army, Coast Guard, Marine Corps, or Navy (or a dependent thereof), serving on active duty under a call or order that does not specify a period of 30 days or less

You will be asked to provide banking, employment and some personal information. This information includes, but is not limited to your name, address, telephone number, place of employment and/or source of regular income, driver's license number, bank account information and social security number.

Typical penalties for lack of repayment may include:

  • Addition of late fees
  • Your account being forwarded to a collection agency

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. Representative Examples of APR can be found in the APR Disclosure & Range section of our homepage.
