HOW DO I QUALIFY?

You mainly have to prove you have the ability to repay.
Individual companies have their own guidelines... but the most common are:· Have a current job (or receive regular income)· Make at least $1000 per month· Are 18 years of age or older and a U.
S. citizen· Have a checking, or savings accountHOW MUCH CAN I QUALIFY FOR?
How much you qualify for depends on the individual company, and a number of factors. It is very common for most companies to limit a first-time customer to $100 to $500. Once you establish a good history with them, you can borrow more.
WHAT WILL IT COST ME?

Cash advance loans are designed for emergency situations! When you are short on cash and need money fast!

WHEN DO I GET THE MONEY?
Once you have applied online, many companies will follow up with a contact by phone to verify your information and explain the terms to you. The key is how quickly can your information be verified!
Most companies can wire the money directly to your bank account within 24 hours. There some companies that say they can do it in even less time.
WHEN DO I REPAY?
It important to keep in mind that this is a short-term loan! The minimum required payment is typically due within 7 to 14 days. The same way they wired the money directly to your bank account... would usually be how your payment will be made.
The company will let you know the exact amount, and the exact date they will do the bank withdrawal. You will know all of this BEFORE you agree to the advance.
As that day gets near and you know you may not have all of the payment... contact the company. Most customers have options that will allow for a refinanced, or restructure of the pay period.
