FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions about Arkansas Payday Loans

Find answers to common questions about getting payday loans in Arkansas:

Are payday loans legal in Arkansas?

No. Payday loans are prohibited in Arkansas under the state Constitution, which caps all consumer loan interest rates at 17%. The Arkansas Supreme Court enforced this ban in 2008. However, Cash Day USA offers legal installment loan alternatives that work great for your financial needs.

What is the best alternative to a payday loan in Arkansas?

Installment loans are your best option. You can borrow up to $5,000 and repay in affordable monthly installments over up to 24 months. Other alternatives include payday alternative loans (PALs) from federal credit unions (up to $1,000 at max 28% APR), cash advance apps for up to $500, employer paycheck advances, or emergency assistance programs like LIHEAP, ESG, or TEFAP.

Can I get a loan with bad credit in Arkansas?

Yes. Cash Day USA has no minimum credit score requirement. Approval is based on your income and overall financial situation rather than your FICO score alone. We perform a soft credit check, which has no impact on your credit score.

What should I do if I already applied with an illegal payday lender?

If you're concerned about the legitimacy of a loan or its impact on your finances, contact the Arkansas Attorney General's office. You can file a complaint online against unlicensed or predatory lenders. State and local emergency assistance programs may also be able to help you.

Can I travel to a neighboring state to get a payday loan?

No. Payday lenders are licensed to operate only in the states where they hold a license, and your home state laws generally apply to your loan agreement. Since payday loans are prohibited in Arkansas, you cannot legally obtain one in another state either. We recommend avoiding online lenders that offer payday-style products in violation of Arkansas law.
