Cash Advance Direct Lenders
Cash Advance direct lenders handle the entire loan process, from application and funding to repayment.
Choosing a licensed direct lender like Advance America ensures that your personal information remains confidential and isn't sold to third parties. We offer direct Cash Advance loans to our customers both in-store and online.
What is a direct Cash Advance lender?
Cash Advance lenders come in two main types: direct and non-direct. Unlike non-direct lenders who involve third parties in the loan process, direct lenders like Advance America handle everything themselves. This ensures a more efficient experience for you, the borrower.
Regardless of your choice, you’ll want to confirm that the lender is licensed, adheres to all state and federal laws, and has mostly positive customer reviews.
How do Cash Advances from direct lenders work?
Direct lenders provide Cash Advances directly to borrowers. You apply for the Cash Advance online or in person and the lender will issue their approval decision. Since direct lenders do everything in-house, they can often offer an approval decision within minutes of applying.
If approved, funds are usually available by the next business day. This is significantly quicker than traditional banks and credit unions, which often have a more extended approval process.
Key benefits
Easy application
Applying for a direct Cash Advance at Advance America is quick and straightforward. You can complete the application online or in-person, often in just a few minutes. To expedite the process, prepare to provide:
- Government-issued ID
- Source of income
- Checking account details
- Social Security number or ITIN (in-store only)

Instant approval decision
Along with a quick and straightforward application, you could receive an instant approval decision. Direct lenders assess your eligibility on the spot and inform you within minutes if you qualify for a Cash Advance loan.
Fast funds
Once approved by a direct lender, you'll receive your Cash Advance funds promptly — often on the same day or by the next business day, depending on the time of your application.
For instance, if you’re approved for an Advance America loan before 10:30 AM EST, you’ll typically receive same-day funding.
Good credit not needed
Direct lenders usually do not prioritize your credit history when evaluating your eligibility for a Cash Advance. They focus more on factors like your employment status and income. This means you could qualify for a Cash Advance through a direct lender regardless of having good, bad, or no credit!
Cover any essential or emergency expenses
Once you receive your Cash Advance, you can use the funds for any need. This includes everyday essentials like groceries, gas, and insurance, as well as unforeseen emergency costs such as car repairs or medical bills.
