Frequently Asked Questions

What Is a payday loan direct lender?

A payday loan direct lender is a financial provider specializing in offering short-term loans directly from its own resources, without involving intermediaries or third-party lenders.

Will I be credit checked?

During the application process, we will complete a credit check on you. A credit check will help us assess whether you can afford a loan or not.

Do I have to submit pay slips when applying?

Our lending technology tries to automatically confirm your income, so most of the time, you won’t need to provide pay slips during the application process. However, if we’re unable to confirm your income with our technology, you may be asked to upload your pay slips while applying.

What should I do If I am having trouble repaying my payday Loan?

If you’re finding it tough to repay your loan, don’t worry – we’re here to help. Just reach out to us and explain what’s going on. It’s important not to ignore the situation or avoid talking to us. If you don’t let us know and your account falls behind, you’ll keep getting charged daily interest, and this could increase what you owe. Also, not paying on time might affect your credit score, making it harder for you to borrow money in the future. Remember, we’re a responsible direct lender and we always treat our customers fairly. We’ll do our best to work with you and find a way to help, based on your specific situation. You can call us on 020 3757 1933 or email support@paydayloansonline.co.uk now.

How can I verify a payday lender is approved by the FCA?

You should always check if a UK lender is approved by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) before you take out a loan. You can do this by searching Financial service register database at https://register.fca.org.uk/s/

What is the highest interest rate and repayment amount a UK payday lender can charge?

In the UK, payday lenders and brokers are regulated to ensure consumer protection. They cannot charge more than 0.8% per day in interest, and they cannot demand repayment exceeding double the original borrowed amount. For example, if you borrowed £100 and had trouble repaying it, with a 0.8% daily interest rate, it would take approximately 87 days for the total amount owed to reach £200, which is the maximum repayment limit set by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) for lenders.

Are you a high street payday lender or do you only offer payday loans online?

We are a 100% online internet based direct lender in the UK and not a high street lender.
