You’re on your way to accessing the money you need, and our team is here to help.

You have questions. We have answers.

How do online loans work?

The entire process, from applying to tracking your funds, is at your fingertips. It only takes a few minutes to submit your online application and receive an approval decision. 

If approved, you choose your loan amount and sign your documents electronically. Funds are deposited into your bank account by the next banking day, and payments withdraw automatically on your due dates.

To apply, you’ll need your:

  • Driver’s license or state ID number
  • Checking account
  • Proof of income
  • Social Security number or ITIN
  • Email address

When will I receive the money for my online loan?

It depends on whether you’re a new or returning customer and what time your application is approved.

New customers

  • Approved Monday–Friday by 10:30 a.m. ET: Funds are typically deposited the same day.
  • Approved after 10:30 a.m. ET or on the weekend: Funds are typically deposited the next banking day.

Keep in mind, the exact timing depends on when your bank posts to your account. If you’re expecting funds and haven't received them, contact your bank first.

Be sure to check your email, as we may need additional information to finalize your loan. We’ll complete the loan processing as soon as we receive the information requested.

Existing customers

In most states, you have the option to receive funds instantly to your debit card.

For questions about a loan you got in person, contact the store directly.

When can I reapply after payoff?

How soon you're eligible to reapply depends on where you live and how you made your final payment.

  • Cash or debit card payments clear right away, so you’re eligible to reapply immediately.
  • Electronic bank withdrawals typically take 3 to 5 days to clear; you can reapply once the final payment is processed.

Some states require a waiting period between loans. For example, Florida customers must wait 24 hours after payoff before reapplying.

What if I can't make my payment on the due date?

If you can’t make your upcoming payment, contact us right away to discuss your options. You can call (844) 562-6480 or visit your local store for more information.

In some states, refinance options may be available.
