Cash advance and other types of payday lenders are growing in popularity across the country, for they will lend you a small amount of cash (usually under $1,000) for a short amount of time (averaging two weeks to a month). These types of lenders are in business to help you out when a financial emergency strikes when you least expect it, lending you a hand until your next paycheck arrives..

Say, for example, the fuel pump breaks in your car, leaving you without transportation to work. If you can’t get to work, you can’t make money. You don’t have the extra cash right now, but you will have it next Thursday, which is your next payday. A Cash Advance is an ideal alternative to calling out of work and possibly even losing your job.

There are many differences between Cash Advance lenders and typical banks and financial institutions, one being that they don’t use the information found on your credit report to decide on your loan amount. Instead, they utilize your job’s stability and the information from your paycheck (gross and net pay, year-to-date totals, etc.) to lend you the money you’ll need to get your car up and running. In many instances, having your employer directly deposit your paycheck into your checking account and post-dating a personal check, made payable to the lender (including all assessed fees), will increase your chances of getting the money you need fast, usually within just 24 hours.

There are no current laws prohibiting cash advances and other forms of payday loans in Maryland, but the state’s Usury Laws doesn’t allow any loan to be written with an annual interest rate of more than 33%. Combining these laws with the new “anti-broker” clause makes it very difficult to get a cash advance in Maryland.
