What is a payday loan and how does it work?


At ACE, you can apply for a payday loan online or in-store, depending on your state.

Payday loans are short-term loans designed to help you pay for immediate expenses. The loan balance is due in full on your next payday.

If you need cash in a pinch1 and you have a steady source of income, a payday loan could be an option for you. Payday loans can help you cover overdue utility bills, unexpected car repairs, and other emergency expenses.

Online

To apply for a payday loan online, all you need to do is fill out a simple online application and sign a few forms online. This easy process only takes a few minutes. If you are approved, you could pick up the money in-store or have the payday loan deposited into your bank account the next business day.2 On your next payday your account will be automatically debited for the amount you owe.

In-Store

You can also apply for a payday loan at certain ACE store locations. Just use the store locator to find a store near you and apply in person. If you are approved, you can walk out with funds in hand.2
