Paycheck Advance loans are small, short-term (14 days or less) cash advance loans made to a borrower. Typically, a borrower writes a personal check for $100-$300, plus a fee. We agree hold the check until the borrower's next payday, usually one week to two weeks later, only then will the check be deposited. In return, the borrower gets cash immediately.
