What Is a Payday Loan?
A payday loan is a short-term, small-dollar loan, often $100-$500 and in some states higher, usually due by your next paycheck or within about two to four weeks. The borrower receives funds, then repays the amount borrowed plus a fee on the due date. Also called a cash advance, it can cover a bill that lands before your paycheck does.
Best forBorrowers with emergency expenses, including people with bad credit.
Get StartedFast Funding
Colorado applicants who submit before noon typically receive a direct-deposit decision within one business day - no branch visit required.
Bad Credit OK
Lenders in Colorado's Bromoney network evaluate your income and employment status, not just your credit score, so past financial setbacks don't automatically close the door.
Trusted Lenders
Every lender on the platform holds a valid Colorado supervised lender license and operates within the rate and fee limits set by the Colorado Division of Banking.
What You Need for a Payday Loan
The request may take a few minutes. Here's what most Colorado lenders require before they can review your information and decide whether to offer credit.
Steady Income
Your income can come from work or benefits, but it needs to be steady enough for the lender to see how you'll repay.
Active Bank Account
Most lenders ask for an active bank account so funds and repayment can move through a place you already use.
Local Colorado Insights
Market Insight: Colorado
Colorado's 36% APR cap makes payday loans meaningfully cheaper than in neighboring Wyoming or Kansas, where triple-digit rates remain legal. Utah also permits significantly higher fees, meaning Colorado borrowers pay a fraction of what residents in those states owe on a comparable $400 loan.
Borrower Protection
Colorado borrowers are protected by the Colorado Division of Banking, which licenses and examines all supervised lenders in the state. Complaints can be filed directly with the Division at 1560 Broadway, Suite 975, Denver, CO 80202. The Colorado Attorney General's Consumer Protection Section provides an additional layer of enforcement against unfair or deceptive lending practices.
Why Colorado Residents Choose Bromoney
Bromoney surfaces only lenders licensed under Colorado's Deferred Deposit Loan Act and compliant with HB 10-1351's 36% APR cap. Instead of applying to multiple lenders separately, Colorado residents submit one form and receive competing offers side by side - saving time and protecting their credit from unnecessary hard inquiries.

Payday Loans vs. Alternatives
Installment Loan
If one due date feels too tight, an installment loan spreads the amount borrowed across fixed payments. You repay over a longer window, which can make budgeting easier, though the lender's terms still decide the real cost.
- Fixed monthly payments
- Longer repayment window
- APR is often lower than payday loan APR
Credit Union PAL / Personal Loan
A credit union PAL or a personal loan can be a slower, lower-cost path when you have room to plan. You may need credit union membership for a PAL, while a personal loan usually leans harder on your credit profile.
- PALs have regulated cost limits
- Credit union membership may be required
- Personal loans depend on your credit profile
Local & State Programs
Sometimes the better move is closer to home: state assistance, a local credit union, or a community program. Options change by state, so use your state page to see what may sit alongside payday loans.
- State and local help can depend on where you live
- Community lenders and nonprofit options may be available

Payday Loans by State
Payday Loans
Payday loans online work differently by state. What you can borrow, what a cash advance can cost, and how you repay may change under state laws. If you have bad credit or a tight bill gap, choose your state below to review legal loan amounts, terms, and the options available to you.
Questions about this product
Colorado law caps payday loans at $500 per loan. Lenders cannot issue a single loan above this threshold, though you may qualify for an installment-style product with a longer repayment schedule if your needs exceed that amount.
Under House Bill 10-1351, the finance charge on a Colorado payday loan is limited to 36% APR plus a monthly maintenance fee of up to $30. This structure replaced the old triple-digit APR model and significantly reduces the total cost of borrowing.
No. Colorado law prohibits rollovers on payday loans. Once your loan term begins, you repay it on the agreed schedule - lenders cannot extend the loan and charge additional fees. This protects borrowers from the debt-cycle trap common in less-regulated states.
Most Colorado borrowers who apply online before noon on a business day receive funds via direct deposit within one business day. Timing depends on your bank's processing schedule - some institutions post funds the same evening.
Yes. Many direct lenders on Bromoney's network use income and employment verification rather than a hard credit-bureau pull as the primary approval factor. A low FICO score does not automatically disqualify you, though each lender sets its own underwriting criteria.
