My AC went out right during a heatwave. I needed $200 fast to pay the repair guy. Filled out the form, got matched right away, and the money was in my account the next morning.
I was short on rent this month and didn't want to get an eviction notice. The process was straightforward. I only gave 4 stars because I wish the state allowed us to borrow a little more, but $255 was enough to cover the gap.
I work long shifts at the hospital and don't have time to drive around town looking for a storefront lender. Doing this from my phone on my break was so much easier.
Needed $250 for a part for my car so I could get to work. The lender I was connected with was super clear about the fees and the repayment date. Paid it back on my next payday.
The form took maybe 5 minutes. Got a call from the lender a little while later to verify my employment. Funds came through exactly when they said they would.
My dog had an emergency vet visit that wiped out my checking account two days before payday. This service matched me with a lender quickly. No confusing paperwork.
Borrowers in Bakersfield can visit these local stores for immediate assistance with payday loans, check cashing, and title loans, or apply online through our matching service to find a lender from the comfort of home.
Bakersfield, situated in the heart of California's Central Valley, maintains a diverse economic profile heavily influenced by the agriculture and energy sectors. As one of the nation’s top oil-producing regions, it offers significant employment opportunities but is also subject to the volatility of global commodity markets. With a poverty rate that remains higher than the state average, many residents experience tight monthly budgets. Consequently, short-term lending options can provide a critical financial cushion for families navigating unexpected medical bills, vehicle repairs, or the cyclical nature of agricultural work.

In California, the maximum payday loan amount is $255. While the state limit is a $300 check face value, the law allows lenders to deduct a 15% fee (up to $45) upfront, meaning you walk away with a maximum of $255 cash.
Yes, many of the lenders in our network consider requests from consumers with less-than-perfect credit. Since payday loans are short-term, lenders often focus more on your current income and ability to repay rather than just your traditional credit score.
If you are connected with a lender and accept their loan terms, funds are typically deposited directly into your active checking account as soon as the next business day. Exact funding times vary by lender.
No. Our matching service is completely free to use. If a lender approves you, they must clearly disclose all their fees and the APR in your loan agreement before you sign. Under California law, the max fee is 15% of the check amount.
No. California law strictly prohibits rolling over a payday loan. You cannot pay a fee to extend your due date, and a lender cannot grant you a new loan to pay off an existing one.
Yes, protecting your personal information is our priority. We use industry-standard 256-bit encryption to secure the data you submit through our online form.
While this page is tailored for Bakersfield and Kern County residents, our service can connect borrowers from anywhere within California to state-licensed lenders.
If you are unable to repay the loan on the scheduled due date, you must contact your lender immediately. Lenders may charge a non-sufficient funds (NSF) fee, which is capped at $15 in California. Remember, rollovers are not permitted by state law.
