Is a cash advance secured or unsecured?

A cash advance is an unsecured loan. You don't put up a car, home or other property as collateral. Instead, lenders base their decision mainly on your income and checking account, and repayment is usually scheduled from that account on your due date.

Usually only a little, if at all.
