Payday Loan Questions
Payday loans (also known as cash advances) are short-term loans designed to help you cover utility bills, unexpected car repairs and other emergency expenses by your next payday. Unlike an installment loan, the balance of a payday loan is generally due in full by your next pay date.
Depending on your state, you can apply for a payday loan online or in-store. Use our ACE Cash Express store locator to see if a store near you offers payday loans. The application process to get a payday loan varies a bit depending on how you choose to apply, whether online or in-store, but the main steps are the same:
Online
The online application process is quick and simple!
- Complete the payday loan application. It takes just a few minutes.
- Receive an instant decision. 1
- If approved, have your loan proceeds instantly delivered to your debit card if eligible,2 or direct deposited to your bank account by the next business day, or depending on your state and if eligible, pick up cash at a store near you! 1
In-Store
Applying in-store is quick and simple, too!
- Use the Store Locator to find a store near you to apply in person.

An installment loan tends to be a longer loan that is paid in installments, while a payday loan is due on your next payday.
Payday loans may not be your only option in a financial emergency. At ACE, depending on your state, we may offer an installment loan product that might be a better fit for your personal financial situation or borrow money from a trusted family member or friend for help.
You can get cash fast if approved! You may be eligible for several of the following funding options:
- If eligible, get your funds loaded to your debit card.2
- Deposit money into your bank account overnight.1
- If eligible, pick up cash same-day at one of our stores.1
