Corpus Christi is the seat of Nueces County on the Texas Gulf Coast — a port, refining and military city, home to Naval Air Station Corpus Christi and the Corpus Christi Army Depot, with shift, seasonal and service work across the Coastal Bend for which an unexpected expense can land between paychecks. Texas sets no cap on payday (credit access business) fees, so short-term loans here are among the most expensive in the country — but the City's 2015 ordinance limits how much you can borrow and how often a loan can roll over, and active-duty military households are protected by the federal 36% Military Lending Act ceiling. Borrow only what you can repay and compare every offer.
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 Portland, Robstown, Kingsville, Flour Bluff, Calallen and across Nueces County.
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 Texas.
Yes. In Texas, payday loans run through a credit access business (CAB), which arranges the loan from a third-party lender and charges its own separate fee. Texas sets no statewide cap on that fee or on the APR, and no statewide dollar limit on the loan. Terms typically run about 7 to 180 days. Because there is no cap, Texas payday loans are among the most expensive in the country — read every offer carefully.
A $500 payday loan for about two weeks commonly costs $110 to $125 in combined lender interest and CAB fee — an effective APR of roughly 560% to 660%. These are typical market figures, not a legal maximum, because Texas does not cap the cost. Your actual cost depends on the CAB and lender you choose.
Yes. Chapter 5, Article I of the City Code — the Credit Access Businesses ordinance adopted August 11, 2015 — caps the cash advanced on a payday loan at 20% of your gross monthly income and an auto-title loan at the lesser of 3% of your gross annual income or 70% of the vehicle’s value. An instalment loan may run no more than four instalments and cannot be refinanced; a single-payment loan may be renewed no more than three times; every payment or renewal must retire at least 25% of the principal; and a new loan within seven days of paying one off counts as a renewal. The agreement must be in your preferred language, and the business must give you a referral to nonprofit credit counselling.
Yes. The federal Military Lending Act caps the cost of most consumer credit to active-duty service members and their dependents at a 36% Military APR, inclusive of fees. A typical Texas payday loan runs far above that, so a covered borrower should not be offered one on those terms. Lenders are required to check covered-borrower status; if you are covered, ask what the lender offers under the MLA ceiling instead.
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.
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.
