A cash advance is a short-term advance that covers unexpected expenses until your next payday. You simply write a check for the amount of cash you want plus the fee. We hold your check until your next payday, at which time you can come in and pay back the advance.

State law generally regulates the maximum advance amount available – the range is generally between $100 and $1,000. Within the allowed range, you will qualify for a particular advance amount based on your current income or additional state requirements. Unfortunately, you may not be able to get as much as you’d like; however, a cash advance from Check Into Cash may be part of your financial solution. We want to help you use your cash advance responsibly, and make sure that you have the ability to repay.

An increasing number of payday consumers choose to get a cash advance to cover unexpected expenses in between paydays without incurring revolving debt. Check Into Cash is offering you a short-term credit option that may provide a sensible alternative to costly bounced checks from other merchants, late payment charges from other creditors, and tarnished credit ratings.

Make sure to evaluate the costs and benefits of alternatives before borrowing money from Check Into Cash. Some other forms of short-term credit may be less expensive – such as a loan from another institution, asking for help from family or friends, a credit card cash advance, account overdraft protection with your bank, or a salary advance from your employer.

As a founding member of CFSA, Check Into Cash follows a set of Industry Best Practices – and in some cases, state law – that enables you to rescind the transaction at no cost before the end of the next business day by returning the full amount of the advance.

According to CFSA, researchers and state regulators consistently report that 70-80% of customers use cash advances between once a year and about once a month. However, a cash advance, like other forms of credit, is a financial option that should be used responsibly, and only when needed for unexpected expenses. It is not intended to be used as a long-term budget solution. Should you need help with budgeting or debt management, call the National Foundation for Credit Counseling at 1-800-388-2227.
