Borrowing

How does the loan process work?​
  1. Pre-Qualification:​
    • Simply fill out the pre-qualification form by clicking "Pre-Qualify"​
  2. Get a Decision​
    • Gather the required documents necessary and come into a Cash Store near you. Once you have come to a Cash Store location, an associate will help you apply for your loan.​ Your information will then go through our underwriting process. This will help determine your loan eligibility and, if approved, will dictate your rates and loan amounts.
  3. Loan Acceptance​
    • Once you're approved, you will be provided with the proposed loan amount, loan rate, due dates, and any other relevant information needed for you to make a decision.​
  4. Receiving Funding​
    • After you accept your terms and originate your Loan Agreement, you will receive your funds. Funding is typically the same day.​
  5. Repayment​
    • Payments are made in accordance with the terms of the Loan Agreement.​

How much can I borrow?

It depends. Each loan is unique and based upon many different factors such as income, employment, and the state in which you live. All applications are run through our underwriting process which provides a final decision.

How much does a loan cost? How much can I expect to pay?

It varies depending on how much you borrow. There are many factors that determine the overall amount you will be responsible to pay back if approved for a loan. The excess amount owed, including interest and fees, over the principal amount borrowed are called finance charges. Your Loan Agreement will detail all amounts expected to pay over the life of the loan, assuming on-time payments.  

Can I apply online?​

New customers can prequalify online but must come into a Cash Store to apply for a loan. Returning customers can apply through their online portal.

Can I take out more than one loan at a time?​

No, Cash Store does not allow multiple loans at one time.

Can I apply for a loan with Cash Store if I have another loan open with a different provider?

Of course! You are always welcome to apply for a loan, but we cannot provide a guarantee of approval or of denial based on any additional loans you may have received until your application has been submitted.
