Cash Advanced (Payday Loan) FAQs

How much am I eligible to borrow with a cash advance?

Cash advance amounts are determined by the state in which you live and your net income. Each state has its own regulations that govern the maximum amount residents can borrow and how long they can borrow it. Within the limits of what your state allows, we will review your net income to determine the amount you’re eligible to borrow. These consumer protection practices help our customers avoid borrowing more than they can afford to pay back. To find out about the maximum loan amounts and fees in your state, go to our location finder and enter your ZIP code.

How much will a cash advance cost?

Fees vary depending on the state where you live. To find out about the fees and maximum loan amounts in your state, go to our location finder and enter your ZIP code.

Will there be a credit check when I apply for a cash advance?

When you apply for a cash advance, Allied will not request credit reports from any of the three major credit bureaus. One of the advantages of cash advances is that they’re accessible – even to people who have less-than-perfect credit.

Will my cash advance payment history be reported to a credit bureau?

Allied does not report its customers’ payment histories to the three major credit bureaus. We do, however, offer customers the opportunity to report their repayments to PRBC – an innovative credit-reporting agency that can help people rebuild their credit. Upon request, PRBC will track and score payment of recurring bills like rent, utility payments, and child care expenses – as well as the repayments you make to us. To learn more about PRBC, visit www.prbc.com.

What happens if I don’t have the funds to repay the loan on my due date?

If your cash advance payment is due, we will contact you to collect the amount owed. If it becomes necessary, we may turn your account over to a collection agency. You may be charged a returned check fee, depending on the laws in your state. Also keep in mind that your bank may charge fees for checks that are returned due to nonsufficient funds.

Prepaid Debit Card FAQs

Why should I consider a prepaid debit card?

Prepaid debit cards have many advantages. They offer the convenience and security of a credit or debit card – without the need for a credit check or loan application. Because the card is prefunded, there’s no risk of bank overdraft fees. There’s also no risk of identity theft because the card is not linked to your personal information or other accounts you may have.

If you don’t have a bank account or if you’ve been denied credit, a prepaid debit card from Allied Cash Advance is a great solution for managing your finances conveniently and safely. With 24/7 access via the Internet, phone, and no-charge wireless alerts, it’s easy to check your balance. The card can be used anywhere Visa and MasterCard are accepted, and it’s available at no charge with a $10 minimum load.
