A cash advance is one way to cover a small, urgent expense. With Superb Cash Advance you apply online for up to $500, with no hard credit check to get started.

A payday loan, also called a cash advance, is a small, short-term loan for an unexpected cost before your next paycheck. Under Alabama state law, a single deferred presentment loan can be up to $500.
Alabama sets the fee by law at 17.5% of the amount advanced, caps your total payday borrowing at $500 across all lenders at one time, and requires lenders to be licensed by the Alabama State Banking Department.

Are payday loans legal in Alabama?
Yes. Payday loans, which Alabama law calls deferred presentment transactions, are legal and regulated.
Lenders must be licensed by the Alabama State Banking Department, the fee is capped at 17.5% of the amount advanced, and a single loan is limited to $500.
How much can I borrow with a payday loan in Alabama?
A single payday loan in Alabama is limited to $500, and with Superb Cash Advance you can apply online for up to that amount.
For example, a Huntsville borrower who takes $350 pays a $61.25 fee, which is 17.5% of the amount, so they repay about $411.25 on their due date.
How much does a $500 payday loan cost in Alabama?
The fee on a $500 payday loan is $87.50, which is 17.5% of the amount, so you repay $587.50.
On a 14-day loan that works out to about a 456% APR. A longer term lowers the APR for the same fee.
How many payday loans can you have in Alabama at once?
Your combined payday loan balance across all lenders cannot be more than $500 at one time, and lenders confirm this through a statewide database before they approve you.
A loan can be renewed only once, and after you repay there is a one-business-day wait before you can take another.
Can I get a payday loan in Alabama with bad credit?
You do not need good credit to qualify. We primarily look at your income and your ability to repay rather than your credit score, so borrowers with limited or imperfect credit may still qualify.
Is there a credit check to get a payday loan?
Getting a quote uses only a soft credit inquiry, so it does not affect your credit score.
If your loan is approved, a hard credit inquiry may be completed, and national databases such as TransUnion, Equifax, LexisNexis, or FactorTrust may be checked before funding.
So there is no hard credit check just to request a loan, but one may be required before your loan is funded.
How fast can I get the money?
Most applicants get a decision within minutes. If you are approved, funds can reach your account or debit card quickly, sometimes the same business day or the next business day.*
What if I cannot repay my payday loan on time?
Before a lender can take legal action, Alabama law requires it to offer you, in writing and at no extra cost, a plan to repay the balance in four equal monthly installments.
The debt does not disappear, but you cannot be jailed for an unpaid loan, and a lender can garnish wages only after suing you and winning in court.
What do I need to qualify for a payday loan?
To apply, you will need a government-issued photo ID, proof of U.S. citizenship and Alabama residency, and to be at least 19 years old, which is the age of majority in Alabama.
You will also need a Social Security number, proof of income, an active checking account in your name, and a working phone number and email address.
Where can I report a problem with a payday lender in Alabama?
You can verify a lender's license and file a complaint with the Alabama State Banking Department, the state agency that licenses and oversees payday lenders.
