Frequently asked questions
Can I get a cash advance in Tacoma, WA?
Cash advances ('small loans') are legal in Washington from check cashers or sellers that hold a DFI small loan endorsement under RCW 31.45. You can request one online from Tacoma through our network; approval and terms are set by the lender.
How much can I borrow with a cash advance in Tacoma?
$700 or 30% of your gross monthly income, whichever is lower. This limit applies to the total outstanding principal of all small loans from all licensees at one time.
How fast can I get a cash advance in Tacoma?

What is a payday advance loan?
A payday advance loan is another name for a cash advance: a short-term advance on your next paycheck. You borrow a small amount and repay it, plus a fee, when you're next paid. The process is quick because lenders look mainly at your income and checking account. Tacoma residents can request a payday advance online through our network in about 3 minutes.
Is a cash advance installment or revolving credit?
A traditional cash advance is neither. It's a single-payment loan: you borrow a set amount and repay it, plus the fee, in one payment on your due date. An installment loan spreads repayment over several scheduled payments, and revolving credit, like a credit card, lets you borrow repeatedly up to a limit. Depending on Washington rules, lenders may offer payday or installment options. Compare them 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.
