Editorial Policy

Our guides are written to help consumers understand short-term lending rules before they borrow. We follow these principles:

• Accuracy over volume. Every legal claim on a state page cites a source and carries a “last verified” date.
• No invented figures. When we can’t confirm an exact cap or fee, we link to the authoritative source rather than guess.
• Alternatives first for banned states. Where payday loans are prohibited, we present safer options instead of an application.
• Clear disclosure. Big Bucks Loans is not a lender and earns compensation when consumers connect with participating lenders.
