How do Payday Loans, Cash Advances and Check Cash Advances work?
To get a Payday Loan (or Cash Advance) all you need to do is fill out a simple application, and sign a few forms. This easy online process only takes minutes. Once you're approved, you get the money in hand or have it deposited into your bank account within 24 hours. On your next payday, your account is debited for the amount you owe, unless you choose to renew your loan (if applicable in your state). For those customers who are not on direct deposit, ACE will give a one business day grace period (from payday) to deposit your check.
