In the majority of cases, a payday loan agreement is a simple contract agreed upon and signed by you and your cash advance lender. However, in a some instances, such loans may be in the jurisdiction of and regulated by the Uniform Commercial Code and/or federal commercial laws.

This form of short-term lending, more commonly referred to as payday loans, cash advances, payroll advances or paycheck advances are, most of the time, unsecured loans. For legal purposes, there is a difference between a "secure" loan and an "unsecure" loan. These terms are within the agreement provided by the lender.
