Denver is Colorado's capital and largest city — a fast-growing hub for tech, healthcare, aerospace, and outdoor recreation, with a rising cost of living where an unexpected expense can land between paychecks. Unlike most states, Colorado strictly caps small-dollar and payday loans at a 36% APR, with a $500 limit and a 6-month minimum term, so Denver borrowers are protected from the triple-digit rates common elsewhere and get clearly-bounded, lower-cost short-term credit.
Frequently Asked Questions
Most requests are matched with a lender within minutes. If you accept an offer during business hours, funds are typically deposited as soon as the next business day — including for borrowers in Aurora, Lakewood, Arvada, and across the Denver metro area.
No — we are a fully online loan-connection service. You never need to visit a storefront: the whole process, from request to funding, happens online with lenders licensed to operate in Colorado.
Colorado caps payday and small-dollar loans at a 36% APR — all-in — with a $500 maximum and a 6-month minimum term (Proposition 111). That means the two-week, triple-digit-APR payday loans found in other states are not available here. Instead, Denver borrowers get lower-cost installment loans at or below 36% APR through Colorado-licensed lenders.
Because of the 36% APR cap, a $500 installment loan repaid over 6 months costs roughly $54 in total interest — about $92 per month. Your exact rate and payment come from the lender and appear in your agreement before you sign.
No. Our matching service is completely free for borrowers. Lenders pay us for referrals, and that never changes the rate or the terms you are offered.
Submitting a request through us does not trigger a hard credit inquiry. Some lenders may run a soft check to pre-qualify you, which does not affect your score. A hard inquiry only happens if you proceed with a specific lender that requires one.
Yes, many lenders in our network consider applicants with poor or limited credit history. They typically weigh your current income and ability to repay more heavily than your credit score.
Generally you need to be at least 18, a U.S. resident, have a regular source of income, and hold an active checking account. Individual lenders may add their own requirements.
