Payday loan (also called a paycheck advance or payday advance) is a small, short-term loan that is intended to cover a borrower's expenses until his or her next payday. Typical loans are between $100 and $500 and are due in two weeks, with interest rates of up to 400% APR. On a two-week loan, fees average $15 for each $100 lent.[1] The loans are also sometimes referred to as cash advances, though that term can also refer to cash provided against a prearranged line of credit such as a credit card.

Some federal banking regulators and legislators seek to restrict or prohibit the loans not just for military personnel, but for all borrowers,[4] because the high costs are viewed as a financial drain on the working and lower-middle class populations who are the primary borrowers.
