Installment structure and a 91-day minimum term mean a brief underwriting step, not an instant decision.
What Determines Your Decision Speed in Ohio
Ohio requires cash advances to be structured as installment loans with a roughly 91-day minimum term and a 28% APR cap.
What Can Slow a Decision Down
Decisions are typically same-day, just with a bit more underwriting than a simple lump-sum advance.
| Factor | Rule |
|---|---|
| Loan structure | Installment, not lump-sum |
| Typical decision speed | Same-day, brief review |
