What Is A CheckSmart Cash Advance?

Simply put, a payroll or cash advance is a cash advance on a paycheck. If customers need cash to handle an emergency, CheckSmart can help them. A payroll advance can help customers take care of unexpected emergencies, or help them get through the week until their next payday. It's a short-term alternative financial solution that can help customers avoid bounced checks, late payment fees, or a negative credit score.

How Does CheckSmart Work?

The first step is to write a check for the amount needed plus the fee amount. CheckSmart will agree to hold the check until the next payday. Customers will receive the funds within minutes. There are no credit check worries. The advance can be as low as $50 or as high as $800. It depends on customers' qualifications and the state in which they reside.

Why CheckSmart?

Customers can expect quick and hassle-free service at CheckSmart. The reason for the loan is irrelevant to CheckSmart. Unlike other lending companies that provide customers with a check, at CheckSmart customers can expect to receive their cash right away.

How Does One Get A Payroll Advance?

To qualify for a payroll advance, customers need to have the following items: verifiable income, checking account in their name, and a working home phone number. Getting a payroll advance through CheckSmart is fast, easy, and convenient. Almost any person can qualify for an advance.

What Should A Customer Bring To CheckSmart To Get Started?

Customers need to bring their checkbook. They also need a state or federally issued identification card.

CheckSmart Check Cashing

CheckSmart cashes all types of checks including payroll, insurance, and personal. Additionally, CheckSmart also cashes tax refund checks, settlement, government, and social security benefit checks. CheckSmart cashes checks and makes the funds available instantly. In contrast, banks require customers to have an account with them in order to cash a check, and they may hold it until it clears before they make the funds available. CheckSmart eliminates all the waiting period and gives customers their cash on the spot. Most CheckSmart locations operate 24 hours a day for customers' convenience.

CheckSmart In Your State

CheckSmart currently has 217 stores located in 10 different states. Presently, those operating locations are in Arizona, Florida, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan, Missouri, Ohio, Utah, and Virginia. The majority of CheckSmart stores operate seven days a week during convenient hours to fit customers' busy schedules. Some CheckSmart locations even operate 24 hours a day.

If a CheckSmart location cannot be found in a certain state it means that CheckSmart is not licensed to conduct business online in that particular state. Therefore, customers cannot request a cash advance online. However, customers can still apply for an advance at one of CheckSmart's nearest locations.
