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.

What You Need for a Payday Loan
The request may take a few minutes. Here's what most Indiana 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 Indiana Insights
Market Insight: Indiana
Indiana's $550 loan cap and tiered fee structure make short-term borrowing more predictable than in neighboring Ohio, where lenders operate under a 28% APR cap that has pushed many providers out of the market. Compared to Illinois, which banned payday loans for residents under 36% APR rules, Indiana maintains an active licensed lender network with broader product availability.
Borrower Protection
Indiana borrowers are protected by the Indiana Department of Financial Institutions (DFI), which licenses all payday lenders, investigates complaints, and enforces the Consumer Credit Code under IC 24-4.5. Complaints can be filed directly at dfi.in.gov. The DFI requires lenders to provide a written loan agreement disclosing all fees and the total cost of borrowing before any funds are disbursed.

Monica R.
“I used the resources and calculators first, then compared options with much more confidence. The APR breakdown made the math obvious.”
Devon K.
“Their pre-qualification flow showed me three lenders with no origination fee — I would have missed that on my own.”
Priya S.

Calculate my loanPayday 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

Questions about this product
Indiana law caps payday loans at $550 or 20% of the borrower's gross monthly income, whichever is less. This limit is set by the Indiana Code and enforced by the Department of Financial Institutions.
Indiana does not set a single APR ceiling, but lenders may charge a tiered finance charge: 15% on the first $250, 13% on amounts between $251 and $400, and 10% on amounts between $401 and $550. On a typical 14-day $300 loan, this works out to an APR of approximately 382%.
No. Indiana law prohibits rollovers on payday loans. Once a loan reaches its due date, lenders cannot refinance or extend it under the same terms. Borrowers who cannot repay on time should contact their lender directly to discuss available repayment options.
No. Most payday lenders in Indiana do not run a traditional hard credit check through the major bureaus. Approval is typically based on proof of income, an active checking account, and Indiana residency. Borrowers with poor or no credit history are routinely considered.
An online payday loan is a short-term, small-dollar loan typically due on the borrower's next payday, applied for and funded entirely online, with availability governed by state law. BroMoney is an online loan marketplace — not a direct lender — that connects borrowers with a network of 1,200+ licensed U.S. lender partners. Borrowers complete one online form in about 5 minutes. In practice, BroMoney then matches them with lenders using a soft inquiry, which does not affect your FICO® score, and borrowers review all offers before committing. Final approval is subject to each lender's own review criteria, and payday loan availability through BroMoney varies by state law.
Most payday lenders require an active checking account, a valid government-issued ID, proof of verifiable income, and U.S. state residency with age 18 or older. In practice, verifiable income includes (1) employment paystubs, (2) bank statements showing direct deposits, and (3) government benefits such as Social Security, SSI, or disability payments. Pension and self-employment income also qualify, typically documented via tax returns or bank statements. BroMoney connects borrowers with 1,200+ licensed U.S. lender partners, and each lender independently sets its own eligibility criteria. Approval is subject to the lender's review, and accepted income types vary by lender and state law.
