An unexpected car repair, utility bill, or other expense can be difficult to cover when payday is still days away. In fact, more than 4 in 10 Kentucky households do not earn enough to comfortably cover basic living expenses.
A small cash advance is one way to cover a short-term gap. Kentucky law allows payday loans of up to $600, and Superb Cash Advance lends up to $500 of that.
If approved, you can review the loan amount, fees, and repayment terms. Compare them with other loan options you may have before you decide whether to accept the loan. There is no obligation to move forward.
You can apply online in minutes to pre-qualify and receive a free estimate with no hard credit check to get started. You can also apply in person. See our Kentucky locations below.
Kentucky law calls a payday loan a deferred deposit transaction, and lenders must be licensed for it. You write a check, or authorize a debit, for the amount you borrow plus the fee. The lender holds it until your due date, which is usually your next payday.
The fee sits on top of the cash you receive. That is why the face amount of the check is higher than the amount you get.
Kentucky law lets you have up to $600 in cash out at one time. That limit is tied to you, not to any one store.
The cap rose from $500 to $600 on July 15, 2026. Summaries published before that date still show $500.
A loan runs from about 14 days up to Kentucky's 60-day maximum. You can have at most two loans at once, as long as the combined total stays at or under $600.
Kentucky's statewide database is checked in real time before any loan is approved, so the $600 limit is enforced automatically. Payday lenders must be licensed by the Kentucky Department of Financial Institutions. State law caps what they may charge, so no licensed lender can charge more than that limit.
Kentucky lenders usually charge $15 per $100 borrowed, and the statute adds a $3 database fee per transaction.
The law measures the limit differently. It caps the fee at $15 for every $100 of the check, not of the cash you get. Your check covers the cash plus the fee, so the check is the bigger number. That is why the legal limit works out a little higher than what lenders usually charge.
These examples use the usual rate and include the database fee. They show both a 14-day and a 60-day term.
| Loan amount | Fee | Total to repay | APR (14-day term) | APR (60-day term) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| $100 | $18 | $118 | About 469% | About 110% |
| $200 | $33 | $233 | About 430% | About 100% |
| $300 | $48 | $348 | About 417% | About 97% |
| $400 | $63 | $463 | About 411% | About 96% |
| $500 | $78 | $578 | About 407% | About 95% |
Representative example: borrow $500 for 14 days. The fee is $75, which is $15 per $100 borrowed, plus a one-time $3 state database fee, so you repay $578 on your due date. That works out to about a 407% APR.
The check you write covers the $500 plus the $75 fee, so its face amount is $575, and $75 is about 13% of that, under Kentucky's 15% limit.
Because the maximum fee does not go up with the term, stretching the same $500 loan to Kentucky's 60-day limit costs no more and cuts the APR from about 407% to about 95%. A smaller loan carries a slightly higher APR because the flat $3 database fee is a larger share of the amount. We show your exact numbers before you sign.
Source: Kentucky deferred deposit law, KRS 286.9-100 and KRS 286.9-140, as amended by 2026 Ky. Acts ch. 98 effective July 15, 2026: a $600 cap on the cash you can have out at one time, a service fee limit of $15 per $100 of the face amount of the check, a $3 database fee, a 60-day maximum term, up to two loans at once, no fee-charging rollovers, and a real-time state database.
The $15 per $100 borrowed used in our examples is the rate Kentucky lenders usually charge, which is below the legal limit. The cap rose from $500 to $600 on July 15, 2026.
Payday lenders are licensed and overseen by the Kentucky Department of Financial Institutions. The state regulation at 808 KAR 9:010 still carries the older $500 and $2.25 figures; the 2026 Act makes the statute controlling and requires the regulation to be conformed. Last reviewed August 10, 2026.

Are payday loans legal in Kentucky?
Yes. Payday loans, which Kentucky law calls deferred deposit transactions, are legal and regulated.
Why was I denied for more than $600 in Kentucky?
Kentucky caps your total payday borrowing at $600 at one time, and a statewide database applies that limit to every payday loan in your name, wherever you took it out. Superb Cash Advance lends up to $500, which is our own limit rather than the state's $600 limit.
If you already have a payday loan, or still owe part of the $600 elsewhere, a lender can approve you only for the difference, and may have to decline a new loan until the first one is repaid.
Can I have two payday loans at once in Kentucky?
You can have up to two payday loans at the same time, but the combined amount cannot be more than $600.
The statewide database checks this in real time, so a second loan is approved only if your total stays at or under the $600 cap.
When can I borrow again after repaying?
Kentucky does not require a waiting period between loans. Once your loan is repaid and the statewide database is updated, you can apply again, as long as your total payday balance stays at or under $600.
Can a payday lender in Kentucky roll over my loan?
Not for a fee. Kentucky bars a licensee, or any company affiliated with it, from renewing, rolling over, or consolidating your loan for a new fee, so the fee-on-fee cycle is not lawful here.
Each loan must be repaid on its own terms, and no loan may be held for more than 60 days.
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.

All lending products offered by Superb Cash Advance are contingent upon approval through our underwriting process. Applicable interest rates, loan terms, and fees are determined by the borrower's state of residence, creditworthiness, and other relevant factors. Product availability is not uniform across all states, and not every applicant will be approved or will qualify for the maximum loan amount. Full terms and conditions apply to each product. Cash advance products are meant to address immediate, short-term financial needs. They are not a replacement for responsible long-term financial management. If you are struggling with debt, we strongly suggest contacting a qualified credit counselor. When applying online, additional verification of your information may be needed prior to funding, which may extend the disbursement process by up to two business days. Where state law requires loan proceeds to be paid in cash and in person, an application may be started online and the approved funds are collected at the store.
Submitting a loan application through Superb Cash Advance does not affect your FICO® Score. As part of our review, we may consult a non-traditional consumer reporting agency. An application of this kind may appear on your record with that agency but will leave your FICO® Score unchanged.
