Frequently Asked Questions

Get your money on your terms

What is a payday loan?

It’s a small (usually under $1,000), short-term, no-collateral, cash advance. It is backed by future income. This may be your next paycheck, a dividend or other type of regular income. The term of the loan is usually 30 days or less.

Payday loans are meant for emergencies. If you find yourself using them to pay regular bills, you should consider credit counseling, debt-management aid or other type of assistance. There are nonprofit agencies that help consumers who have ongoing, excessive debt.

Use payday loans responsibly.

What is an installment loan?

This is a small (usually under $5,000), short-term, no-collateral, cash advance. It is backed by future income. This may be your next paycheck, a dividend or other type of regular income. It is paid back in a set number of scheduled payments. Use installment loans responsibly.

What is a personal loan?

This is a no-collateral loan for up to $35,000, similar to a line of credit. It is backed by future income. This may be your next paycheck, a dividend or other type of regular income. The term of the loan is typically longer than an installment or payday loan. These loans can be used to consolidate debt or pay off high interest credit cards. Use personal loans responsibly.

How does FatherCashmas.com work?

Fathercashmas.com is not a lender and does not make credit decisions. Fathercashmas is a loan connecting service. We connect consumers who are looking for financial assistance with independent, third party lenders who may be able to provide a loan.

You begin by filling out the simple form. Your information is then shared with third party lenders who may make you a loan offer. You are under no obligation to accept the offer, but if you do, the lender will provide the instructions to do so. Every third party lender has their own terms and conditions. Please consult these before accepting the loan offer. In particular, check for information on the APR, fees, renewal terms and consequences of non-payment.

If you have any questions about your loan, please contact your lender.

How do I apply?

We make it as easy as possible for our customers to do their application. All you need to do is click "Apply Now" on any of the buttons on our site, fill in a few details, we will then take your application and attempt to match you with one of the lenders in our panel. If your application is accepted, you will be forwarded to the lender’s website to finish the application.

Why do you require my personal information?

You will be asked to provide banking, employment and some personal information. This information includes, but is not limited to your name, address, telephone number, place of employment and/or source of regular income, driver’s license number, bank account information and social security number.

The third party lenders may perform a credit check or use other methods to verify the information you provide.

How much can I borrow?

Payday loans are usually between $100 and $1,000. Installment loans range between $100 and $5,000 and Personal loans are usually between $500 and $35,000. You will make a request for a loan amount. If you receive a loan offer, it may not match the amount you requested. Loan offers may vary for several reasons including the individual lender, employment, income and other factors.

If approved for a payday loan by an independent third party lender, how quickly could I receive it?

The transfer to your bank account could happen as early as the next business day. Times will vary depending upon your lender and your financial institution. If you have additional questions regarding the transfer time, please contact your third party lender.

What are the minimum requirements to register for a loan?

Individual, third party lenders have different minimum requirements, but the following constitute typical minimum requirements:

  • Be at least 18 years of age or older
  • Have a checking or savings account with direct deposit
  • Have regular income of at least $1,000 per month
  • Have a fair credit rating (for personal loans only)
  • Must Not be a regular or reserve member of the Air Force, Army, Coast Guard, Marine Corps, or Navy (or a dependent thereof), serving on active duty under a call or order that does not specify a period of 30 days or less

How long does a loan transaction take?

A number of factors impact this, including the time of day you register, the accuracy of your registration, the lender and your financial institution.
