$700 Loan Fees, Rates, and Terms

Lenders in our network offer two types of $700 loans: payday loans and installment loans.

A payday loan is typically due within 14 to 31 days. The fee ranges from $10 to $30 per $100 borrowed, depending on your state and credit. This may result in an APR of 400% or higher. Payday loans are designed for short-term needs only and should not be used as a long-term financial solution. Make sure you have a clear repayment plan to avoid rollover fees or additional charges.

Loan amount Term (days) Total Fee Total Payment APR
$700 14 $91 $791 338.93%
$700 21 $91 $791 225.95%
$700 30 $91 $791 158.17%

An installment loan allows you to repay the loan in smaller, scheduled payments over 2 to 24 months. APRs typically start at 16% but may reach 200% for applicants with low FICO scores.

Loan Amount Term (months) APR Monthly Payment Total Interest Total Repayment
$700 6 18% $122.87 $37.21 $737.21
$700 12 24% $66.19 $94.30 $794.30
$700 18 28% $48.07 $165.28 $865.28

The examples above are for informational purposes only.

Before you sign, review four disclosure boxes. Federal law requires the lender to list the APR, the finance charge, the amount financed, and the total of payments on the agreement. Those numbers tell you the real cost faster than any headline rate does.1

Why Borrow a $700 Loan

A $700 loan is often used for specific, urgent expenses that need to be covered quickly. Here are several examples:

  • Rent or mortgage payments
  • Utility bills
  • Urgent medical expenses
  • Emergency car repairs
  • Home appliance purchases
  • School-related or childcare expenses
  • Insurance premiums
  • Legal or court-related fees
  • Travel expenses

Alternative Options

If a $700 loan doesn’t meet your needs or isn’t available in your state, you may consider alternative options. Each product has specific terms, limits, and eligibility requirements.

Personal Loans

Personal loans from banks or online lenders offer larger amounts, typically ranging from $500 to $50,000. These loans come with fixed interest rates between 6% and 36% and repayment terms of up to 84 months. Lenders usually require a good credit score and a steady income to qualify. Funding times vary but are generally 1 to 3 business days.

Cash Advance Apps

Cash advance apps are borrowing tools that provide early access to a small portion of your upcoming paycheck. The amounts are typically limited to $100–$700, depending on the app, your account activity, and your income. These loans are often interest-free but may come with monthly subscription fees (typically $1–$9) or optional tips. The app automatically withdraws repayment on your next payday.

Credit Unions

Credit unions offer two types of payday alternative loans (PALs) to their members. Loan amounts for PAL I range from $200 to $1,000, with repayment terms of 1–6 months. The PAL II program allows you to borrow up to $2,000 for 1–12 months. APRs for both options are capped at 28%. To become a credit union member, you typically need qualifying employment, location, or affiliation with a certain group. Bad credit applicants can qualify, but a hard credit check may be performed.

Local Charities or Emergency Funds

Some nonprofit organizations and community programs provide emergency financial assistance to eligible individuals or households. This form of aid is usually offered for essential expenses, such as housing, food, medical care, or utilities. Qualification is based on need. Processing times may range from a few days to a week, depending on availability.

Same-Day Deposit

If approved early in the morning, you may receive your funds by the evening. No long waits — just fast, direct access to cash.

If a payment is missed

If you miss the due date, the costs may add up in a fairly predictable pattern. You may first face a returned-payment fee if the account cannot cover the debit, followed by a late charge and often a corresponding overdraft or returned-item fee from your own bank on the same transaction. Published bank schedules put returned-item or non-sufficient funds (NSF) fees around $25 to $32 depending on the state, with late charges near 5% of the payment or a fixed cap.2

What follows if it drags on

  • Repeated debit attempts on the account
  • Non-payment reported to consumer databases other lenders check 1
  • Harder, costlier borrowing next time

A phone call before the due date typically costs less than a bounced payment after it. Ask for the exact NSF and late amounts in your state, and ask whether a payment plan is available.

FAQ

Yes, you can. Loans from 1F Cash Advance involve a soft credit check that doesn’t impact your credit score. The focus is on your current income, employment stability, and your ability to repay the loan on time.

If you apply and get approved before 10:30 a.m. local time, the money may be deposited into your account the same day. It also depends on how quickly your bank processes transfers. If you submit your application in the evening, on a weekend, or during a holiday, you’ll usually get the money on the next business day.

In most cases, you will need a bank account to receive the funds and repay the loan. However, if you apply at a 1F Cash Advance store, you might be able to get the money in cash. Just remember that you’ll need to provide a post-dated check covering the full amount due.

If you miss your payment date, late fees, NSF fees, or penalties for bounced checks may apply. These charges add up quickly, making the loan more expensive. Additionally, loan defaults can hurt your credit score and make it harder to get approved for loans in the future. If you struggle to repay, call your lender immediately and ask about an extended payment plan or other options available.

It depends on the laws in your state and the lender’s rules. Some states let you have only one short-term loan at a time, while others allow more. You may be denied a new loan if you haven’t paid off your current one or if it looks like you’re borrowing more than you can afford. Taking out too many short-term loans can lead to debt cycles and financial stress, so we recommend only having one payday loan at a time.

Make sure you provide correct and current information and list all your income sources to show your ability to repay. Pay your loans and bills on time and maintain a credit utilization ratio below 30% to demonstrate responsible financial behavior. Some lenders may offer secured loans or allow for joint applications. Adding collateral or a cosigner can help you qualify for better terms.
