What You Need to Qualify in Salem
You don’t need collateral or a co-signer. Lenders confirm identity, income, and an open bank account; most accept benefits or pension income alongside wages. Because this is Oregon, every offer is capped at $500 with charges limited to 36% apr + 10% loan fee — the numbers can’t quietly change after you apply.
