Three Ways to Borrow, Depending on What You Need

Not every situation calls for the same kind of loan. Here's a quick way to think about which one fits yours.

Short-Term

Cash Advance

A smaller amount you repay by your next paycheck — usually within two to four weeks. Built for a gap you know you can close soon, like a utility bill or a car repair.

Apply Now →
Larger Amount

Installment Loan

For bigger or longer-running expenses. You repay in fixed installments spread across weeks or months instead of one lump sum, which makes the payment easier to plan around.

Time-Sensitive

Same-Day Funding

If your application clears before 10:30 AM on a business day, funds can reach your account that same day. After that cutoff, it typically lands the next business day.

The Process

From Application to Funds in Three Moves

No branch visit required, though you're welcome to stop by one of our locations if you'd rather talk it through in person.

1

Fill Out the Form

Tell us your state, the amount you need, and basic contact details. Most people finish in under five minutes.

2

Get Matched, See the Terms

We check available offers using a soft credit pull, which won't affect your score. If there's a match, you'll see the rate and repayment schedule before deciding anything.

3

Accept and Get Funded

Sign electronically and, once approved, funds are typically sent by the next business day — sooner if your application clears before the morning cutoff.*

Straight Talk

What a Loan Like This Actually Costs

Short-term loans aren't cheap money — that's true anywhere, not just here, and it's worth going in with clear eyes. The cost comes down to the fee or interest charged on top of what you borrow, and both depend heavily on your state's rules and the lender you're matched with.

The number that matters most is the total repayment amount shown in your offer — not just the headline rate. Read it before you sign, ask questions if anything's unclear, and only borrow what you're confident you can repay on schedule. Rolling a loan over into a new due date usually adds another fee without reducing what you owe.

A Few Reasons Borrowers Stick With Us

Money stress is hard enough without a confusing application on top of it. Here's what we've tried to get right.

📖

Nothing Buried in Fine Print

Your offer spells out the APR, the fee, and the total repayment amount before you accept — not after.

🧭

Credit History Isn't the Whole Story

We look at more than a single score, so a rough patch in your credit file doesn't automatically rule you out.

Questions People Usually Ask First

What exactly is a cash advance?

+
It's a small, short-term loan meant to be repaid by your next paycheck — usually within two to four weeks. People typically use one to cover a gap that can't wait, like a utility bill or a car repair, rather than a planned purchase.

How much am I able to borrow?

+
Cash advances generally range from $100 to $1,000. If you need more than that or want longer to repay it, our installment loans go up to $5,000 with a repayment period spread over several months.

Will applying show up on my credit report?

+
Checking your options uses a soft inquiry, which doesn't affect your score and isn't visible to other lenders. A full credit check only happens if a lender needs one after you accept an offer.

How soon does the money actually arrive?

+
Most approved applicants see funds within one business day. If your application is finalized before 10:30 AM local time on a weekday, it can often land in your account that same day.

Are there fees just for applying?

+
No. There's no charge to submit an application or to check what you might qualify for. Any fee tied to the loan itself is disclosed in your offer before you accept it.

What if I can't repay on the due date?

+
Contact your lender before the due date rather than after — most would rather work out a plan than have you default. Be aware that rolling the loan into a new due date usually adds another fee on top of what you already owe, so it's worth avoiding if you can.

I have bad credit — can I still apply?

+
Yes. Credit history is one factor among several, and income plus repayment ability tend to carry more weight in the decision than a single score.

Is there a restriction on what I use the funds for?

+
No — once the money is in your account, it's yours to use for whatever the emergency or expense was, whether that's a bill, a repair, or something else entirely.

Accuracy

How We Keep This Page Accurate

Loan rules change by state and by lender, so we treat this as something to maintain, not write once and forget.

📅

Reviewed on a Regular Schedule

Rates, fee ranges, and state availability get rechecked periodically against current lender and regulatory information — not left to go stale.

✍️

Written in Plain Language

No jargon for its own sake. If a term like "APR" or "rollover" matters to your decision, we explain it in the same sentence.

⚠️

General Info vs. Your Offer

Numbers on this page are typical ranges, not a quote. Your actual offer — the one that matters — always overrides anything written here.
