Transparent Upfront Pricing

We do not charge a fee to submit a cash advance request. All fees, the APR, and the full payment plan are presented before a decision is made. Rates and terms vary by lender. No prepayment penalties apply (i.e., you can pay off early at no additional cost).

What Is a Cash Advance and How Does It Work?

A cash advance is a type of short-term loan. You submit an application online, we match you with a lender network, and if accepted, the funds arrive in your account by the next business day. Everything happens online.

What’s the Difference Between a Cash Advance vs. a Payday Loan?

Payday loans usually lock you into a single lender’s terms, requiring full repayment on your next payday. A cash advance through First Financial® connects you with multiple lenders who may offer more flexible repayment options. Always compare the total APR and repayment plans before committing to any cash advance.

Can I Get a Cash Advance With Bad Credit?

Lenders in our network do not base their evaluation on your credit score alone. They assess your income and bank account activity instead. Many people who would not meet the requirements of traditional lenders can find an alternative through our lender network.

Is There a Cash Advance No Credit Check Option?

Some lenders in our network may not perform a standard hard credit inquiry when considering you for a loan. However, these lenders will likely use some other method to ensure that you are capable of repaying the loan. You will know exactly what each lender is looking for before you commit to those terms.

How Do I Get a Cash Advance Through First Financial®?

Complete the secure five-minute form online. You’ll need a verifiable monthly income of at least $800, an active bank account, and a valid email address. You must not be a New York resident. There’s no faxing, no in-person visits – the entire process is fast and online.

How Quickly Will I Receive My Funds?

Once you accept a lender’s offer, you’ll typically see the funds the next business day, though your bank’s processing time may affect the exact timing.

Is My Information Secure When I Apply Online?

It is. Our request form uses industry-standard encryption to protect your data from the moment you submit it. Lender network partners are held to the same security standards as required by applicable federal and state law.

Can I Apply for an Online Cash Advance From My Phone?

The form’s built for mobile devices so that you can complete everything on a smartphone or tablet. It’s also available 24/7.

Is There an Instant Cash Advance Option for Someone With Limited Credit?

First Financial® connects you with lenders that consider income and banking activity alongside credit history, so limited credit doesn’t automatically disqualify you from a cash advance. You should only ever borrow what you can repay.

Are Cash Advances a Long-Term Financial Solution?

No. If you’re frequently borrowing to cover regular expenses, a credit counselor can help you look at longer-term options.

Can I Apply Again if I’ve Used First Financial® Before?

You can. There’s no restriction on returning borrowers. Just complete the request form again, and our network of lenders will evaluate your current profile. Approval isn’t guaranteed, but the process is the same as it was the first time.

Who’s Eligible to Apply for a Secure Cash Advance Through First Financial®?

You’ll need a verifiable monthly income of at least $800, an active bank account, and a valid email address. New York residents aren’t eligible. There’s no minimum credit score requirement. Our experienced lender network considers your income and banking activity, not just your credit history.
