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.

Partner lenders in Missouri often process applications the same day. Once approved, funds are typically deposited into your account within one business day.

What You Need for a Payday Loan
The request may take a few minutes. Here's what most Missouri 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 Missouri Insights
Market Insight: Missouri
Compared to neighbors like Kansas and Illinois which cap APR at 36%, Missouri's lending laws are more permissive. The state has no APR ceiling, meaning rates can exceed 400% annualized. Reviewing the total repayment cost is critical before accepting an offer.
Borrower Protection
Borrower protections in Missouri are defined by RSMo § 408.500 and enforced by the Missouri Division of Finance (finance.mo.gov). Licensed lenders must provide written agreements and are limited to six loan rollovers. Consumers can file complaints directly with the Division.

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
Missouri law (RSMo § 408.500) caps payday loans at $500 with a repayment term not to exceed 31 days. Fees are limited to 75% of the original loan amount. It is crucial to calculate the full repayment cost before submitting an application to understand the total expense.
Yes. Many licensed lenders in Missouri evaluate applications based on verifiable income and an active checking account, not solely a credit score. A FICO score below 580 does not automatically disqualify you. Using a comparison platform to check options generally involves a soft inquiry, which does not affect your credit score.
Missouri law permits up to six rollovers for a single payday loan. Each renewal extends the term but adds significant fees, increasing the total debt. Financial advisors recommend rollovers only as a last resort. If repayment seems difficult, consider installment loans, which offer structured payments over several months.
Kansas City, St. Louis, Springfield, and Columbia have high concentrations of licensed payday lenders. However, online payday loans are available statewide, allowing borrowers in cities like Joplin or Jefferson City to access the same lender networks without visiting a physical store.
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.
