What is a payday loan?

A payday loan is a short-term unsecured cash advance. This kind of loan should only be used for emergency expenses.

How to qualify for an online payday loan?

Each lender has their own borrower criteria to determine whether to offer a wage day advance in UK. Some basic, minimal criteria that many lenders share are the following:

• UK Resident
• Aged 18 years or over
• Active UK bank account
• Employed

Please be advised that each lender has their own specific criteria for determining eligibility for credit. Satisfying the above criteria alone will not qualify you for a payday loan.

How much can I borrow?

Each individual lender will determine how much you may borrow based upon their own lending criteria. Typically, payday loans do not exceed £1,000.
