As debt piles up and you consider a payday loan, you want to make sure you're relying on a reputable service. Unfortunately, some payday advance providers cannot be trusted.

First of all, make sure the company is properly licensed in its state of business. You should also be on the lookout for a payday loan website that is professionally designed and managed, run by a real service that understands the business and markets it resides in.

Certain states, such as Georgia, don’t allow payday loans, so they will not issue a license to any company in that state for that purpose. When looking at a particular payday loan lender you should to e-mail them and ask for information regarding their lending license.

For example, the lending institution for Personal Cash Advance is located in South Dakota. The company is officially licensed by that state. When it issues a cash loan contract with a client, it is deemed to take place in South Dakota, regardless of where the client or his/her bank resides. Therefore, the payday loan contract is bound by the laws of South Dakota.

Security is also a major concern when shopping for the right resource. When a client completes an application, the connection will be “SSL,�? which stands for Secure Socket Layer. Secure Socket Layers provide the best means of encryption available to commercial websites today. Seeing this message should be any privacy concerns to rest.

Finally, make sure someone is available to answer all your application questions. Many cash advance loan providers leave you wondering what’s going on, not exactly a comforting sign. It's probably best to avoid that sort of payday loan company. Although price is important, customer service is even more important.
