  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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!

  5. 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

  6. 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.

  7. 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.

  8. 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.

  9. 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.

  10. 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.
