Does anyone know where I can get a legit loan online? Looking for some honest options!
Hey, don’t take advice from just anyone here. Check out Solo, Brigit, Cleo, and Dave on the app store. Solo’s my personal favorite, but it usually starts with $50 loans until you build some history.

Totally agree! Solo and other peer-to-peer options are way better. Start small and work up; payday loans can lead to serious debt you don’t want to deal with.
Payday Loan Options
If you’re thinking about a payday loan to cover immediate expenses, here are some details to keep in mind.
Where to Get a Payday Loan
-
Online Lenders
-
In-Person Options
- Local payday loan stores like GreenLightCash.com or VivaPaydayLoans.com
- Depending on where you live, you might also be able to find payday loans at check-cashing or pawn shops.
-
Credit Unions
- Some credit unions offer Payday Alternative Loans (PALs), which are generally more affordable.
Tips if You’re Considering Payday Loans
-
Check the Total Costs
- Payday loans can have super high APRs—often 300% or more! Make sure you understand what you’re paying back in total.
-
Look at Other Choices
- Consider personal loans (maybe check with your cosigner), borrowing from family, or using a credit card instead.
-
Only Borrow What’s Needed
- Don’t take more than you need—just enough to cover your immediate costs.
-
Plan Your Repayment
- Have a solid plan to repay on time so you don’t get caught in a debt cycle by rolling the loan over.
-
Check State Laws
- Rules vary by state, so make sure you know the limits and rates that apply where you live.
With steady income and a cosigner with good credit, you could still check for lower-rate personal loans or options through credit unions as better alternatives.
