What It Takes to Qualify in South San Francisco
The network’s baseline is short: 18 or older, verifiable income of about $1,000 a month, an open checking account, and a phone or email that actually reaches you. Because this is California, every offer also respects the state line, $300 maximum and 15% of face value in fees, and the full terms arrive with the offer, not after it.
What California Law Guarantees You
Paying a fee to push the due date out is not allowed under state rule. A statutory cancellation right also applies: End of next business day, at no cost. Licensing and complaints run through the California Department of Financial Protection and Innovation: verify any lender before signing, and keep the complaint route from the California state page handy.
