Lion Loans Payday Loan Options. From $200 to $5,000
Not every borrower has the same needs — so neither are our loan options. Explore four short-term lending products built around real situations: emergencies, larger expenses, bad credit recovery, and payday-cycle bridging. Find the one that fits your life.
Single-Payment Payday Loan.
The original short-term loan. Borrow a lump sum today, repay the full amount plus a single, transparent fee on your next payday. Simple, fast, and effective for genuine short-term cash gaps that you know will close with your next paycheck.
Best for
- Short-term cash gaps — an unexpected bill that arrives before your paycheck.
- One-time emergencies — a car repair, medical co-pay, or utility deposit.
- Borrowers with predictable income — you know exactly when the money to repay will arrive.
- Anyone seeking simplicity — one loan, one repayment, one date.
How it works
- Apply online in two minutes with basic income and banking details.
- Receive an instant decision and review the exact repayment amount upfront.
- Funds are deposited to your checking account — usually the same business day.
- Repayment is automatically drawn from your account on your agreed payday.
What to consider
Best suited for borrowers confident their next paycheck will cover both regular expenses and the repayment. If you need more time, our Installment option may be a better fit.
Installment Payday Loan.
For larger amounts that wouldn't fit comfortably into a single repayment. Borrow up to $5,000 and repay across multiple pay cycles — predictable monthly payments, no balloon shock, easier on your budget.
Best for
- Larger one-off expenses — a major car repair, medical procedure, or home repair.
- Planned purchases — moving costs, security deposits, education fees.
- Predictable monthly budgets — when you'd rather pay $300/month than $1,500 at once.
- Borrowers consolidating short-term debt — replace multiple smaller loans with one structured plan.
How it works
- Choose your loan amount between $1,000 and $5,000.
- Select your preferred term — 3, 6, 9, or 12 months.
- See your exact monthly payment before you sign anything.
- Receive funds same business day; automatic payments aligned to your payday cycle.
Why borrowers choose this
The Installment Loan keeps borrowing accessible without sacrificing budget control. You can repay early with zero penalty, and missed payments can be restructured — just call us. Borrowing should never feel like a trap.
Same-Day Cash Advance.
Built for true emergencies — when waiting until tomorrow isn't an option. Smaller amounts, fastest approval, money in your account within one to four hours of signing. The closest thing to walking up to an ATM with no card.
Best for
- Genuine emergencies — overdraft prevention, urgent prescriptions, immediate utility shutoff.
- Tight payday gaps — your check is days away but a bill is hours away.
- Smaller, time-critical needs — when speed matters more than the size of the loan.
- One-off micro-emergencies — a flat tire, school fees, an emergency travel ticket.
How it works
- Apply with priority verification — typically completed in under 90 seconds.
- Approval decision in real time. If approved, sign electronically.
- Funds are wired via expedited ACH or push-to-debit, typically arriving within one to four hours.
- Repayment in full on your next payday — single automatic withdrawal.
A word of caution
Same-Day Cash Advances are the most expensive per dollar borrowed because the speed costs money. Use them only for true emergencies — not for non-urgent expenses that could wait a day or two for a cheaper option.
Bad Credit Payday Loan.
Designed for borrowers whose credit score has taken hits — from past defaults, medical debt, divorce, or simply a thin credit file. We look at your current income and stability, not your past mistakes. A soft credit pull means applying never touches your score.
Best for
- Bad credit borrowers — FICO scores below 580, recent late payments, or past charge-offs.
- No credit file — young adults, new arrivals, or those who've never opened credit accounts.
- Bankruptcy recovery — anyone rebuilding after a Chapter 7 or 13 discharge.
- Anyone declined elsewhere — banks, credit unions, or other lenders said no.
How it works
- Apply with the same simple form — no credit-score gatekeeping at the door.
- We verify your monthly income and bank account stability via secure connection.
- Decision is based on ability to repay, not historical credit performance.
- Approved funds are deposited same business day; repayment is structured to fit your budget.
Building credit back
Successful on-time repayments may be reported to credit bureaus on request, helping borrowers actively rebuild credit through responsible short-term borrowing. Ask about credit-building reporting when you apply.
