A payday loan is a short-term loan intended to cover expenses until your next paycheck. Payday loans are heavily regulated by state law and are not available in every state.

Where RMO offers payday loans:

  • Only in states where RMO is licensed to make payday loans.
  • Subject to that state's APR cap, fee schedule, rollover rules, and cooling-off requirements.
  • Federal Military Lending Act applies — Military APR capped at 36% for active-duty servicemembers and dependents.

How an RMO payday loan works (where available):

  1. Apply online or in branch with proof of income.
  2. Loan terms are disclosed in writing per state requirements.
  3. Repayment is typically due in 14 days or on your next payday.
  4. Extension and rollover rules are governed by state law and vary widely.

Before choosing a payday loan, consider lower-cost options:

  • An employer paycheck advance program if available.
  • A credit union payday alternative loan (PAL).
  • An RMO Personal Loan if you qualify.
  • A negotiated payment plan with the creditor you owe.

If you do choose a payday loan, borrow only what you need and plan to repay in full by the due date to avoid rollover fees.
