If you need some extra money to tide you over until your next payday, you're definitely in luck. There are a variety of payday loans available to suit your short term needs. And the best thing about payday loan companies is that they don't require a credit check. There are a few things that you can do to help you choose a payday loan company.

From Quick Guide: Payday Loans
Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Determine how much money you need to borrow. Make sure that you only borrow the amount of money that you can actually pay back on your next payday.

  2. Step 2

    Speak to your family and friends about payday loan companies. Perhaps one of your relatives or friends has used a payday loan service in the past and maybe he can recommend a company to you.

  3. Step 3

    Do some research on the Internet. There are several websites, such as Galt Technology Inc. and NowGetLoan.com, that provide helpful reviews for you to compare different payday loan companies.

  4. Step 4

    Verify the loan terms, fees and application process with each company. See which company has low interest rates, good payback options and the most convenient and fastest application process to suit your needs. Contact that company and speak to a customer service representative if you have any questions about their payday loans.

  5. Step 5

    Complete the application and submit all of the required documents. In order to get a payday loan, you normally need a valid driver's license, social security number, a current bank statement, your checkbook, current pay check stub, a utility bill in your name, a working home telephone number and 2 to 3 references.

  6. Step 6

    Accept the loan terms and receive your money. Once your application is approved, a company representative goes over the details with you. After you agree to the terms and sign all of the documents, you may receive your money within a few minutes if you're applying in person at a location or possibly within the next 1 to 2 business days if you're applying online or over the telephone.

Tips & Warnings
  • Be sure to check with the Better Business Bureau, in order to verify that the payday loan company is legitimate.
  • If you're applying for a payday loan on a company's website or over the telephone with a company representative, you may need access to a printer and fax machine.
  • Although payday loan companies don't run a credit check, some companies use "Teletrack," which verifies whether or not you have any outstanding payday loans in the system.
