Frequently asked questions
Can I get a cash advance in Memphis, TN?
Cash advances (deferred presentment services) are legal in Tennessee from lenders licensed by TDFI under the Deferred Presentment Services Act, Tenn. You can request one online from Memphis through our network; approval and terms are set by the lender.
How much can I borrow with a cash advance in Memphis?
A lender (and related persons) may hold no more than two of your checks at once, with a total face value of no more than $500.
How fast can I get a cash advance in Memphis?
The form takes about three minutes and many lenders decide within minutes. If you're approved and sign before the lender's cutoff, funds are often deposited the next business day.
Do cash advances affect your credit score?
Usually only a little, if at all. Because many payday lenders don't use a traditional hard credit pull and often don't report to the major bureaus, a cash advance repaid on time typically has little effect on your score. A balance that goes unpaid and reaches collections could hurt it, so borrow an amount you can repay on your due date. Memphis residents can see their options with our 3-minute form.
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. That keeps the process quick, since there's nothing to appraise. Memphis residents can see if they qualify in about 3 minutes.
Do payday lenders in Memphis check your credit?
Most payday lenders check something, but it often isn't a traditional credit report. Many focus on income and banking history and may use alternative credit data or a soft check instead of a hard pull from the major bureaus. Each lender sets its own process and will tell you what it reviews. Submitting our form is free, and you can see if you qualify in about 3 minutes.
Is a cash advance the same as a cash advance?
The terms are often used interchangeably. A cash advance is sometimes called a cash advance because it advances money against your next paycheck. A credit card cash advance is different: you withdraw cash against your card's credit limit, which requires available credit on a card. If you don't have card credit to tap, a cash advance through our network is a fast option. Check your options in about 3 minutes.
Do cash advances show up on your credit report?
Many payday lenders do not report regular, on-time payments to the three major credit bureaus, so the loan often doesn't appear on a standard credit report. Some lenders and specialty bureaus do track short-term loans, and an unpaid balance sent to collections can be reported. Your lender explains its reporting policy in the loan agreement.

Do I need to visit a store in Memphis?
