An 8-advance annual limit is the main constraint — approval is still mostly income-based.
What Washington's Rules Mean for a Bad-Credit Applicant
Washington caps advances at $700 (or 30% of monthly income) and tracks usage against an 8-advance annual limit.
What Actually Gets Checked
First-time and infrequent bad-credit borrowers typically qualify based on income; the annual-limit check mainly affects frequent repeat borrowers.
| Factor | Rule |
|---|---|
| Maximum advance | $700 or 30% of monthly income |
| Credit-score cutoff | None |
