Running low on cash and need a few dollars to hold you over until payday? Dealing with a pressing financial emergency that can’t wait until your next direct deposit? 

Both are situations that warrant the need for fast cash. But if you have less than perfect credit, getting a loan from the bank can be quite the challenge. 

Before you resort to a payday loan, it’s a good idea to learn how they work. You should also explore other loan products that are safer for your finances. 

Payday lending is regulated by the Oklahoma Department of Consumer Credit. The lenders must adhere to the state statutes or face repercussions. 

Oklahoma residents can request payday loans from online lenders or brick-and-mortar establishments. Both offer a straightforward application process and rapid funding options. If you apply online, expect the funds to arrive in your business account the next business day. But if you visit a physical location and are approved, you can leave with cash in hand. 

The lender will initiate a transaction from your bank account to collect the outstanding balance, including any fees and interest, on the due date.

You may be eligible for a payday loan in Oklahoma if you meet the following criteria: 

  • Be a U.S. citizen or permanent resident living in Oklahoma that’s at least 18 years of age 

  • Steady source of income that can be verified by the lender 

  • Have a checking account in good standing that can receive direct deposits 

  • Valid physical address, email address and phone number 

Payday lenders don’t conduct credit checks when reviewing loan applications. They are more concerned with your ability to repay what you borrow and assess steep interest rates to offset the risk of default. 

So, your credit score will not be impacted when you apply for a payday loan. And the lender won’t report the account to the credit bureaus unless you fail to pay over an extended period, and it is turned over to collections. 

Oklahoma residents can borrow up to $500 from payday lenders, and only 2 loans are permitted at once. You will have between 12 and 45 days to repay the principal and any applicable interest and fees. 

The maximum fees are as follows:

  • $15 per $100 for loans between $0 and $300

  • $15 plus an additional fee of $10 per $100 for loans between $300 and $500

Want to apply for more payday loans? A cooling-off period of 2 business days applies following the 5th consecutive loan repaid. 

Loan rollovers or renewals are not permitted. If the payment is returned due to insufficient funds, you will be subject to a $25 NSF fee by the lender. Your bank may also assess a fee. 

However, you can request a repayment plan following your third consecutive loan. Doing so allows you to split the loan into 4 installments, but a fee up to 10 percent (that doesn’t exceed $15) applies. 

Still unable to make timely payment? The payday lender may sell the delinquent account to a debt collector who has the option to report it to the credit bureaus and sue to collect what you owe. 

You can save a wad in interest by looking beyond payday loans for relief. A few viable alternatives to consider: 

  • Sell your belongings to a pawnshop 

  • Use your credit card and repay what you spend on the next payday

  • Request a loan from a friend or relative

If none of these options work for you, consider a loan product from MoneyLion to lend a helping hand. 

Wouldn’t it be nice to get an interest-free loan to fill the void until your next payday? It’s possible with Instacash from MoneyLion.

Borrow up to $250 for a few weeks without incurring any interest. Plus, there are no credit checks, so you can qualify if you’ve had some challenges in the past.

Tired of dealing with money woes and subpar credit? Consider the Credit Builder Loan from MoneyLion to help you get back on track. You’ll get up to $1000 immediately to get over the hump, and depending on your finances, a portion may be held for you in an interest-earning Credit Reserve Account until you pay the loan off. When you pay off your loan, you get the money!

A primary benefit is the reporting of payment activity to the 3 credit bureaus – Equifax, Experian and TransUnion. Each time a payment is successfully processed, it helps boost your payment history, which accounts for 35% of your credit score. 

You can apply now for an installment loan of up to $1,000 in just minutes. If approved, it’s only $19.99 to unlock this feature, and you’ll also get optional access to a checking account, managed investing and Instacash cash advances.

Credit Builder Plus membership ($19.99/mo) unlocks eligibility for Credit Builder Plus loans and other exclusive services. This optional offer is not a Pathward product or service. A soft credit pull will be conducted which has no impact to your credit score. Credit Builder Plus loans have an annual percentage rate (APR) ranging from 5.99% APR to 29.99% APR, are made by either exempt or state-licensed subsidiaries of MoneyLion Inc., and require a loan payment in addition to the membership payment.

The funds in this account will be placed into money market and/or cash sweep vehicles, and may generate interest at prevailing market rates. You will not be able to access the portion of your loan proceeds held in the credit reserve account until you have paid off your loan. If you default on your loan, your credit reserve account may be liquidated by the lender to partially or fully satisfy your outstanding indebtedness. May not be available in all states. Credit Reserve Accounts Are Not FDIC Insured • No Bank Guarantee • Investments May Lose Value.
