How will I know if I’m approved?
Applicants will receive an instant decision after applying. The decision will be visible on the thank you screen and will be sent to the email provided. There are three decision options: approve, deny, or verify. Pending verification simply means that our decision engine was unable to make an approval or deny decision and is being sent to our customer service team for manual review.
Why wasn’t my online loan application approved?
Unfortunately, we are not able to approve all loan applications due to a variety of reasons. We know that life can change. You are eligible to reapply 60 days from your original application date.
Why does the application say “user already exists” when I try to apply?
Our system recognizes that you are already an existing customer or have previously applied with Net Pay Advance.

New and return applicants can apply for a personal loan day or night, rain or shine. Our website and mobile app are both available 24/7/365. For applicants that provide a valid debit card, instant funding is available, meaning you can have your funds within minutes anytime, anywhere.
Does Net Pay Advance check my credit score?
Most short-term lenders, including Net Pay Advance, pull at least some sort of data to verify applicant-provided information and determine a decision on applications. This process may include a soft credit check. A soft credit check is different from a traditional “hard” credit check because it is only visible to the borrower and the inquiry falls off after 30 days from the original inquiry. Most importantly, it’s not harmful to your credit score. Net Pay Advance understands that applicants are more than their credit score, which is why we don’t use your score as a factor when determining approval.
Will applying for a payday loan hurt my credit?
Applying for a payday loan with Net Pay Advance will not hurt your credit score. That’s because we do not perform a hard credit check. Instead, we use a soft credit check that does not affect your credit score.
