Payday Loans in Virginia

Payday loans are single-payment advances due in full on your next payday, often carrying triple-digit APRs. These loans are banned in Virginia.

State law permits only strictly regulated short-term installment loans: $100 to $2,500, repaid over 4-24 months in equal monthly installments with no balloon payment.

The APR is capped at 36%, and the monthly maintenance fee cannot exceed $25 or 8% of the outstanding balance. Each installment may be no more than 5% of your gross monthly income, protecting your budget.

Only one such loan is allowed at a time, and rollovers are prohibited. Another loan is possible only after the current one is fully repaid.

Installment Loans – a Better Solution

Installment loans are a safe, structured solution for borrowers in Virginia who need access to larger amounts with longer repayment terms. At 1F Cash Advance, you can apply for up to $5,000 and repay it in fixed monthly installments for 2 to 24 months. Each payment amount is clearly defined upfront, so you always know how much you owe and when it’s due.

You don’t need a high credit score to qualify. We look at your current income and ability to repay. The application takes only a few minutes, with quick approval decisions and fast funding.
