What Is a Payday Loan?
A payday loan is a short-term, high-cost loan that usually is due in full 14 or 30 days later (on your next payday). The loan amounts range from $100-$1,000 with the average being a $500 loan. They're offered through storefront locations and online and your ability to get one will depend heavily on the state in which you live[1].
Key features
- Short loan term (either 14 or 30 days).
- The entire balance will be due at once (in a few states you're able to pay them in installments).
- To secure payback, the lender will require a post-dated check or approval to ACH the loaned amount.
- Loan amounts range from $100-$1,000.
- The loan is not secured by any collateral.
- The Annual Percentage Rate (APR) of the loan will likely be over 100%.
To issue a payday loan, the lender will likely require a form of ID, your bank information, proof of income like a paycheck stub and either a post-dated check or your approval to debit the loan balance plus any fees on the loan's due date. You can always pay your payday loan prior to its due date but if you don't, the lender will either cash your check or debit your account for the outstanding balance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a Honda VIN decoder when buying a brand-new car?
Yes, you can use a Honda VIN decoder when buying a new car. In most cases, you may get the chance to inspect the vehicle you tend to purchase in advance. You can record the VIN number of the vehicle and perform quick VIN checks through VINPit to see how “new” the car is.
What vital information will I find with my Honda Civic VIN?
A Honda Civic VIN number will provide information on your Honda’s country transmission type, body type, engine type and size, model year, and assembly plant, among others. You may get additional information including auction records, sales records, and recall records depending on the specific vehicle.
Is it safe to give out the VIN of my car when using a Honda VIN decoder?
Yes, it is safe to give out the VIN number of your vehicle when using the Honda VIN decoder. The VIN number of most cars is visible in broad daylight after all, and you can easily spot the VIN of a random car on the street by checking the bottom of the driver’s side windshield.
Can I get owner records of a Honda when using a Honda VIN decoder?
No, you are not able to get information about previous owners through online VIN decoder services. It is against federal privacy laws and illegal in most states. At VINPit, it is also against our security policy.
Where does the information from a Honda VIN Lookup come from?
The vehicle information and history come from legal sources available for public use including the DMV, police records, NMVTIS, insurance records, and other proprietary sources.
