Frequently Asked Questions – Atlanta, GA
What are the qualifications for a RISE loan in Atlanta?
To qualify, you must be a Georgia resident, at least 18 years old, with a valid Social Security number, an active checking account, and a steady source of income.
Are RISE loans payday loans?
No. RISE installment loans are not payday loans. In fact, payday lending is banned in Georgia. RISE loans are repaid over time in fixed payment installments, making them a more predictable and manageable option.
Can I apply for a RISE loan from anywhere in Atlanta?
Yes. Whether you’re located in Downtown, West End, Decatur, or the surrounding metro, you can apply online from anywhere in Georgia using any internet-connected device.
How fast can I get funds with a RISE loan in Atlanta?
Most approved applicants who submit before the daily cutoff receive funds by the next business day.* This can be especially helpful when facing time-sensitive situations like medical bills or emergency repairs.
Can I repay my loan early?
Yes. RISE encourages early repayment. There are no fees or penalties for paying off your loan ahead of schedule—and it may reduce the total interest paid.
Are RISE loans available outside Atlanta?
Yes. RISE loans are available across the state of Georgia and in other select states. Loan terms vary by location, so check the Loans by State page to see your options.
Can I apply for a RISE loan at any time?
Yes. Our secure online application portal is open 24/7. Whether it’s early in the morning or late at night, you can apply whenever it works best for your schedule.
How is a RISE installment loan different from a short-term loan or credit line?
Installment loans offer a fixed loan amount with a predetermined repayment schedule. Payday loans are lump-sum, short-term products often due on your next payday. Lines of credit are revolving accounts. RISE loans provide structured, one-time funding with consistent fixed payments.
Will a RISE loan affect my credit?
Yes. RISE reports your payment activity to Experian and TransUnion. On-time payments can help build a positive credit history, while missed payments could negatively impact your credit score.
What happens if I miss a payment?
If you’re unable to make a payment, contact RISE right away. We understand that unexpected situations happen and may be able to work with you on available solutions.
