Use Your Payday Loan Responsibly

Payday loans are emergency borrowing options that must be repaid over several weeks. Using them for long-term needs can be costly and may lead to financial strain or debt cycles. Before applying for a payday loan, make sure you have a clear repayment plan and can afford the required amount. If you experience ongoing financial challenges, avoid borrowing and seek professional counseling.

At 1F Cash Advance, we disclose all loan terms so you know exactly what to expect. Review them carefully and be sure you fully understand the interest rate, total cost, due date, and repayment schedule.

FAQ

Are payday loans legal in Maine?

Maine laws allow payday loans if they are offered by licensed lending companies. However, it limits the maximum payday loan amount and caps an interest rate at 30% to protect borrowers from high-cost debt.

What is the maximum amount I can borrow with 1F Cash Advance?

With our Portland payday loan, you can borrow up to $1,000, depending on your income and credit. Installment loans offer amounts of up to $5,000, making them suitable for larger expenses.

How fast will I receive my loan?

In most cases, borrowers receive their loans as soon as the next business day after approval. Applicants who get approved before 10:30 am on weekdays can access the money on their bank accounts on the same day. Instant funding is offered to people who borrow in-store and provide post-dated checks for repayment.

Can I get a loan with bad credit?

You can qualify for our loans with any credit. We set no minimum requirements and are more focused on your ability to repay rather than your FICO rating. Just note that having a bad credit score may affect your loan terms and APR.

How much time do I have to repay a payday loan in Maine?

The maximum repayment period for a Maine payday loan is 30 days, with the due date usually aligned with your next paycheck. Rollovers are not permitted, so be sure you can repay the funds on time.

Can I qualify for a payday loan if I’m unemployed or self-employed?

At 1F Cash Advance, we accept applicants without official employment as long as they can demonstrate their ability to repay. Proof of consistent alternative income sources is still required to qualify for a payday loan.

What happens if I can’t repay on time?

If there are not enough funds in your account on the due date, an NSF fee of up to $25 may apply. Loan defaults can also lead to collection actions and negative effects on your credit. If you experience repayment difficulties, contact the payment center listed in your loan agreement to discuss available options.
