- What is a payday advance?
A payday advance is a short-term financial management tool, which
is designed for anyone who needs
emergency cash until his or her next payday. An increasing number
of consumers choose a payday
advance to cover unexpected expenses or to bridge a short-term
cash need without incurring revolving
debt. Payday advances are a sensible alternative to costly bounced
checks, late payment charges and
tarnished credit.
- How does it work?
It's Simple. A person who qualifies will write a check today for
the amount borrowed plus the fee. He or
she would then receive instant cash for the amount borrowed (minus
the fee). The check written would
be held until your next payday, not to exceed 31 days.
- What do I need to apply for a payday advance?
Applying for a payday advance is quick and easy. All you need
in order to qualify is an open checking
account, verifiable home phone number and a verifiable source
of income. Helpful: When applying
for a payday advance it is helpful, however not necessary, to
have a copy of your most recent pay stub
and/or phone bill. Providing this information will make the approval
process even faster.
- How long does it take to be approved?
5-10 minutes! That's right! Once you have completed the payday
advance application and submitted it to
one of our friendly staff members, it only takes about 5 minutes
to have your payday advance approved.
There is no credit check and the process is completely confidential!
- What are the charges and fees for receiving
a payday advance?
Our fees are in compliance with applicable state or federal law.
This service is performed for a one-time
flat fee of $17.65 per $100 borrowed.
Example:
If you needed $200 cash today you simply
would write West Coast Cash
a check for the amount of $235.30
Date the check for your next payday or
the following business day and
receive instant cash of $200.
Amount
paid directly to you $200.00
Total
Prepaid finance charge $35.30
Total
advance amount $235.30
The Annual Percentage Rate if your $200
advance is due 14 days from today is 460.16%. The Annual
Percentage Rate (APR) will increase if
the term is less than 14 days or decrease if the term is more
than 14 days.See
Fee Schedule
- How is the advance amount determined?
State law regulates the maximum advance amount available to consumers.
Within the allowed range, you
qualify for a particular advance amount based on your current
income.
- Does a poor credit history disqualify me?
No. West Coast Cash is in business to assist customers in the
time of short-term financial need. We do
not review your credit report, but base our lending decision on
your ability to repay the advance. We
wouldn't really be helping if you received more than you have
the ability to repay.
- Can I receive more than one payday advance
at a time?
No. State law stipulates that a payday advance service provider
may transact only one payday advance
per customer at any given time.
- Is the transaction confidential?
Absolutely. West Coast Cash recognizes that you have the right
to privacy. We also recognize that you
have the right to expect your personal financial information to
remain private and secure. Therefore, the
safe keeping of customer information is a priority at West Coast
Cash.
- What happens if I cannot repay my payday
advance on the due date
written on the payday advance agreement/disclosure form?
If we deposit your check and your bank returns it unpaid, you
will be responsible for payment in full plus
a $15 returned check fee. West Coast Cash is committed to collecting
past due accounts in a professional and
fair manner. Also, if necessary and appropriate,
we may seek civil remedies to collect past due accounts.
