    Payday loans are cash loans that are often used when someone needs the money immediately. The borrower leaves a check with the amount of the loan plus an extremely high fee, when the borrower is ready to pay, the lender uses the check.

    Some states have banned payday loans as a measure to stop the abuse of high fees to borrowers, and to stop the cycle of borrowing.
