If you are looking to apply for a payday loan online, here are some things you can expect to be asked on your payday loan application. Know what to expect so that your application process will be quick and easy.

The Payday Loan Application will include questions like:

Do you have a checking account?

Do you want direct deposit or to be mailed a check?

They will also ask about your employer. They will want to know how often you are paid, bi-weekly, weekly, daily or monthly. Some people may wonder if they can be approved for a payday loan if they are paid monthly. They answer is "yes" for most online payday or cash advance companies. As long as they can verify your employer and pay schedule.

They will want to know how much money you want to borrow. Usually you can request a lower amount later if you want to. You are not committed to borrowing that amount of money just because you are applying for it. This will just be a pre-approval application.

You will be asked for your personal information, name, address, phone, etc. Then, you will need to state all of your employers information. They will probably need to verify this information, so make sure its accurate.

You will probably be asked for your bank routing numbers and bank information, in order to both have the information needed to deposit your money and also deduct the loan payment on the date you agree to.

For a payday loan, there will be no credit check. Some application processes will ask you to fax in check stubs or bank statements and some can do verify those things with no faxing on your part.

Make sure the payday loan company you deal with is secure. On the application page, check the URL address bar to make sure it starts with https instead of http. That is a sign that the application is safe and secure.

Be wary of payday loan companies that seem shady. You may be in danger of them selling your personal information or using your bank account information dishonestly.

If you want your cash fast, be prepared to have all of your information ready for the application process.
