Finding the right online payday loan lender is important. You do not want to deal with unscrupulous or fake loan companies.

The first thing you will look for is a website that has been professionally designed and organized. Ideally, there is no *dead link* or a link which leads you the phrase *the page cannot be displayed*. If you*re up to it, check spelling and grammar. The information presented on the site should be clear and not riddled with *legal words* meant to confuse the reader. And then, there should a page for FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions) about payday loans and the procedure that the company undertakes. There should also be a page for the company's contact information. Their offices, email address, and contact numbers should be provided in this page. If convenient to you, check the office address.

Beware of online payday lenders that ask you for fees to process your applications. Also avoid payday loan websites that assure you of instant approval based only on a few questions, or that they no longer need documents such as latest bank statements or proof of employment. Remember, a real and reputable payday loan company would need information about your banking history and about your current employment. All in all, you do not see any hint that it belongs to a sleazy company.

All payday loan lenders must be licensed. Do not hesitate to ask information about their lending license. If they refused or their answer is vague, then look for another payday loan company.

Security is an important factor to consider in choosing a good payday loan company. In its website, a Security and Privacy Policy should be clearly posted. Make sure that you read this and it does not turn out to be a dead link. Most important of all, determine the kind of connection that the lender uses when you send your application form. The connection should be SSL (Secure Socket Layer). It is a secured connection and that no third party will be able to access the information that you provided. If unsure of the connection used by the lender, contact and ask the company. Again, if the answer is vague or evasive, find another loan company.

Lastly, there should be excellent customer service offered by the payday loan company. True, you need the money they have, but you will also pay that amount of money and more. You are the client, after all. Make sure that someone in that company is easily accessible to answer all your questions.
