Until the judge sets the bail and the person is able to be bonded out. In most cases that's less then 24 hours during normal work days. Which means if the person is taken into custody on a weekend or official holiday he or she might spend two or three days.

If the person resides in state that already has bail/bond amounts designated for specific violaltions he or she could tender the amount and be released quickly. Likewise, some people qualify for ROR but that doesn't usually apply when a warrant has been issued.

After the Judge verifies that you aren't in court, usually consisting of calling your name a couple times, he or she then tells the clerk to issue an FTA (Failure To Appear) Capias. The clerk then enters the FTA Capias into the NCIC, and CCRE in VA, or the State criminal records system in the state you reside in. This is typicaly done as soon as the Judge tells the clerk, but depending on the court and/or how busy they are, they may just make a list & type up the Capias/Warrant at the end of the day or the following day.

Can a payday loan company issue a warrant for your arrest for defaulting on a loan?

No. Only the court (Judges) may issue a warrant for someone's arrest. No lender may have you arrested for not paying a loan, however, if you don't show up to court (or have legal representation at court), the judge may issue a bench warrant for your arrest (with the intention of getting you in front of the court, not to put you in jail). If the default, however, is subsequently believed to be a result of fraud, the judge may pass the particulars of the case to a prosecutor who will likely request a warrant for your arrest. In this case, the warrant is meant to hold you for trial in criminal court.
