Qualifying in Richmond: the Short List

No collateral, no co-signer. Lenders verify identity, income and an active account, and benefits or pension income counts with wages. Because the loan is governed by California, the ceiling stays $300 and charges stay at 15% of face value: nothing mutates after you apply.

What California Law Guarantees You

Extensions: California does not permit rollovers, so the loan ends on its scheduled date. Cancellation: you may rescind the loan, End of next business day, at no cost. The California Department of Financial Protection and Innovation licenses lenders and takes complaints. Check any company against that list before signing; the California state page has the direct link.
