What Is a Payday Loan?
A payday loan is a small, short-term cash advance, usually from $100 to $1,000, meant to cover immediate costs until your next payday. Repayment is typically due in a single payment within 14 to 30 days. Lenders often prioritize your income and bank activity over your credit score, so qualification may be possible despite poor credit history.

Local Indiana Insights
Market Insight: Indiana
Indiana's $550 loan cap and tiered fee structure make short-term borrowing more predictable than in neighboring Ohio, where lenders operate under a 28% APR cap that has pushed many providers out of the market. Compared to Illinois, which banned payday loans for residents under 36% APR rules, Indiana maintains an active licensed lender network with broader product availability.
Borrower Protection
Indiana borrowers are protected by the Indiana Department of Financial Institutions (DFI), which licenses all payday lenders, investigates complaints, and enforces the Consumer Credit Code under IC 24-4.5. Complaints can be filed directly at dfi.in.gov. The DFI requires lenders to provide a written loan agreement disclosing all fees and the total cost of borrowing before any funds are disbursed.

Questions about this product
How much can I borrow with a payday loan in Indiana?
Indiana law caps payday loans at $550 or 20% of the borrower's gross monthly income, whichever is less. This limit is set by the Indiana Code and enforced by the Department of Financial Institutions.
What is the maximum APR on a payday loan in Indiana?
Indiana does not set a single APR ceiling, but lenders may charge a tiered finance charge: 15% on the first $250, 13% on amounts between $251 and $400, and 10% on amounts between $401 and $550. On a typical 14-day $300 loan, this works out to an APR of approximately 382%.
Can a payday lender roll over my loan in Indiana?
No. Indiana law prohibits rollovers on payday loans. Once a loan reaches its due date, lenders cannot refinance or extend it under the same terms. Borrowers who cannot repay on time should contact their lender directly to discuss available repayment options.
Do I need good credit to get a payday loan in Indiana?
No. Most payday lenders in Indiana do not run a traditional hard credit check through the major bureaus. Approval is typically based on proof of income, an active checking account, and Indiana residency. Borrowers with poor or no credit history are routinely considered.
What is an online payday loan and how does the BroMoney marketplace work?
An online payday loan is a short-term, small-dollar loan typically due on the borrower's next payday, applied for and funded entirely online, with availability governed by state law. BroMoney is an online loan marketplace — not a direct lender — that connects borrowers with a network of 1,200+ licensed U.S. lender partners. Borrowers complete one online form in about 5 minutes. In practice, BroMoney then matches them with lenders using a soft inquiry, which does not affect your FICO® score, and borrowers review all offers before committing. Final approval is subject to each lender's own review criteria, and payday loan availability through BroMoney varies by state law.
What do I need to qualify, and what counts as verifiable income for a payday loan?
Most payday lenders require an active checking account, a valid government-issued ID, proof of verifiable income, and U.S. state residency with age 18 or older. In practice, verifiable income includes (1) employment paystubs, (2) bank statements showing direct deposits, and (3) government benefits such as Social Security, SSI, or disability payments. Pension and self-employment income also qualify, typically documented via tax returns or bank statements. BroMoney connects borrowers with 1,200+ licensed U.S. lender partners, and each lender independently sets its own eligibility criteria. Approval is subject to the lender's review, and accepted income types vary by lender and state law.
