What It Takes to Qualify in Capital
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 Illinois, every offer also respects the state line, $1,000 maximum and 36% apr cap in fees, and the full terms arrive with the offer, not after it.
What Illinois Law Guarantees You
Paying a fee to push the due date out is not allowed under state rule. A statutory cancellation right also applies: N/A, at no cost. Licensing and complaints run through the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation: verify any lender before signing, and keep the complaint route from the Illinois state page handy.

A timing note from network data: requests filed before noon on a banking day have the best shot at same-day funding, because the deposit still fits inside the ACH window. Evening applications work fine; they simply tend to become next-morning money.
