Every state in the U.S. treats payday loans and installment loans differently. That means “online loan availability” isn’t just about where you apply — it’s about what’s permitted, what’s restricted, and what disclosures are required in your location. This States Hub is built to make that simple: start with your state, understand the rules, and explore options responsibly.
State laws control loan structure: maximum amounts, fee caps, licensing, rollover rules, and cooling-off periods.
Google prefers location-specific compliance content because it matches search intent and improves consumer clarity.

No. Payday loan rules vary by state. Some states permit payday loans with limits, some regulate them heavily, and others prohibit traditional payday lending entirely. That’s why exploring your state page first matters.
Restricted means the state may limit payday-style loans through caps, licensing requirements, APR restrictions, term rules, or product structure requirements. Availability may exist, but compliance rules can be strict.
Reviewing state guidance pages does not impact credit. Credit impact depends on what happens during a lender’s application process and how underwriting is completed. Always review disclosures before proceeding.
Always review repayment schedule, fees, total repayment amount, and timelines. Borrow only what you can repay without missing essential expenses, and consider alternatives when possible.
