Where to Start

New to the subject: start with what a cash advance is and how the APR is calculated, then read the credit score guide before you request anything. Already holding an offer: the fee guide and the cash advance calculator will tell you whether it is fair for your state. Behind on a loan: the collections guides explain what a lender can and cannot do, and when to call the regulator listed on your state page.

Material disclosure. flashcashadvance.com is not a lender and does not make credit decisions or fund loans. We operate a request form and connect that request with lenders and lending partners in our network. flashcashadvance.com may receive compensation from lenders or lending partners when a request is matched or funded. That compensation does not affect which lenders receive a request or the order in which they are considered, and it never changes the terms a lender offers you; our goal is to match each request with the lender or lending partner that best fits the individual situation. Some requests may be matched with tribal lenders, whose rates and fees can differ from those of state-licensed lenders and who may operate under federal and tribal law rather than state law.

Lenders in the network typically offer amounts from $100 to $25,000. Repayment periods commonly range from 14 days to 36 months depending on the product and your state. APRs for short-term loans can range from about 36% to over 400% depending on state law and lender. The exact APR, fees, schedule and total cost are shown by the lender before you accept any offer. Submitting a request does not guarantee an offer, or a specific rate, term, or amount. Approval, APR, fees, and funding are decided by the lender that reviews your request.

Illustrations only, not offers. The lender shows the exact figures for your request before you accept.

To use this service you must be a U.S. resident, at least 18 years old, with a regular income and an active checking account, and you must meet the requirements of the lenders in our network. Availability, amounts and loan products vary by state, and not all lenders operate in all states. Lenders may verify the information you provide and, where the law allows, obtain consumer credit reports or other credit data to evaluate your request. By submitting a request you authorize lenders in the network to perform those checks. Late or missed payments may be reported to credit bureaus and can lower your credit score. Reporting practices vary by lender.

By accepting a loan offer you agree to repay it on the schedule in the lender agreement. Late, partial or missed payments can add fees and penalties as described in that agreement. flashcashadvance.com does not see individual lender fee schedules and cannot estimate what a late payment would cost you. flashcashadvance.com is not involved in loan servicing or debt collection. Servicing and collection are handled by the lender under its agreement and applicable law. Questions about a payment schedule or a collection contact go to the lender named in your loan documents. Renewal, rollover or extension options, where a state allows them, are set by the lender and disclosed in the lender agreement. Rolling a short-term loan over adds cost. Review renewal terms before you accept a loan.

Submitting a request means you agree to our Terms of Service, have read our Privacy Policy, including how we share your information with lenders and how to opt out, and consent to receive documents electronically as described in our E-Consent.
