Payday loan lenders offer short term loans to people in the United Kingdom (UK) who need money due to an emergency. It can help you resolve an unexpected financial crisis. The loans are repayable on the date of your next payday. The lenders make the application process and receipt of funds as easy as possible for their customers.

The criteria used among the different lenders vary. Some require the applicant to be at least eighteen years old, while the minimum age for other companies is twenty one years old. Some companies assess a combination of your credit score, employment history and your payment history to determine if you are credit-worthy. Other companies only require that you are currently employed and receive a steady income. There are also a few companies that provide loans to the self-employed. The lenders typically require that your source of income be verified prior to granting the loan.

Each lender has minimum and maximum limits that they will allow customers to borrow. The limitations are usually dependent upon the borrower's current income. The loan will not exceed an amount that the borrower can feasibly pay back by the next pay period. It is in the best interest of the borrower to avoid situations where he or she will have a difficult time paying off the loan.

The lenders often provide customers with the option of filling out an application at their location or online. By providing the application online, they want to make the process as convenient as possible. When completing the application, standard information that you need to provide include your name, address, contact information, name and address of employer, your pay rate and bank account information.

Approval can be granted fairly quickly when applying online. Some companies will let you know if you have been approved by sending you a confirmation email and by letting you know when the funds will be deposited into your bank account. Other companies may have a customer service representative contact you to verify the information on the application before making a final decision.

For most companies, you have to pay off your outstanding loan before you can apply for additional money. This policy is implemented by the lenders because these types of loans should only be for temporary financial problems. The lender wants to make sure you are able to pay off your current debt before accruing any additional debts.

Short-term lenders tend to charge very high interest rates. Therefore you should make sure you will be able to pay off the loan before or on your next pay date. Normally, the companies will extend the due date for the payment if requested, but the amount you owe will continue to accrue. Paying off the loan as soon as possible should be a top priority.

Receiving money in such a short amount of time is very convenient when dealing with an emergency situation. This service should not be taken for granted or abused. When that occurs, these types of loans will only exacerbate your financial problems rather than help resolve them. Even if you need money right away, you should carefully review the interest rates and terms of the contracts. You should also carefully assess your ability to pay back the funds by the required due date.
