So, What Is a Cash Advance App?

A cash advance app is mobile application that lets you access money you may need to cover yourself until payday.

There are plenty of financial apps offering cash advances, which means you could be able to access money on the same day you apply. (But don't forget the express fee).

Before you dive headfirst into the world of cash advances, here's a few things you should know.

‍

‍The Scoop on Same Day Cash Advances

Sometimes same day cash advances are the quick fix you need. And unlike loans, they don't require you to fill out a bunch of paperwork, wait, get a co-signer, etc. A cash advance is a great alternative which can let you access cash (if you're eligible) on the same day (if you pay an express fee).

Cash advance amounts can vary between $20 and $750 depending on the app and your eligibility.

And the application process is super straight forward, often requiring only basic information like name, address, bank details, SSN number, income, etc.

Fees and Credit Checks

The policies around fees and credit checks vary among different cash advance apps, but let's break it down:

Fees: Some cash advance apps operate on a subscription model, charging a small monthly fee for their services (like Cleo). Others offer their services for free, but may ask for a voluntary "tip" or charge a fee for instant transfers. There are also apps that provide cash advances with no fees, but you may have to set up direct deposits.

Credit checks: Most cash advance apps don't require a traditional credit check. Since they're offering you a portion of the salary you've already earned, they don't generally need to assess your creditworthiness in the traditional way. Instead, they may verify your employment and income by confirming minimum direct deposits or timesheets. (Cleo doesn't require timesheets, minimum direct deposits, or w-2 forms to access a cash advance. She believes everyone should be apply to apply for a cash advance) 💙

Remember, the policies vary from one app to another, and these details may change over time or depending on specific circumstances. So it's always a good idea to read the terms and conditions before you decide to use a particular cash advance app.
