Frequently Asked Questions

What is a cash advance?

A payday advance is a short term financial assist without the long term obligation. It’s a quick, easy and confidential way to get some cash.

How do I qualify for a cash advance?

You would only need a few things:

  • Government Issued ID
  • Proof of Income
  • Active Checking Account (open at least 60 days)
  • Bank Statement (showing 60 days of activity)
  • Social Security Number
  • Personal Check
How much of a cash advance can I get?

You will be able to apply for a cash advance from as little as $25.00 to anywhere up to $600.00. The amount that you will be approved for will be determined by the information you provide Instant Cash Advance.

What types of fees are applicable and how much are they?

We charge the fees allowed by state law. For a complete fee breakdown, please refer to our cash advance fee schedule.

Can I still get a cash advance if I have bad credit?

Yes those with “bad credit” can still get a cash advance. We use Factor Trust Credit Reporting. They are considered a “soft” credit check. This allows most customers to qualify for our loans despite their credit situation.

Is my payday loan secure and confidential?

Yes, Instant Cash Advance has the highest standards. We do not disclose your information other than as allowed by federal law.

Why choose a payday loan over other alternatives?

Payday loans are quick and confidential, and every fee is listed up front in our loan fee chart.

There are rumors that Payday Loans are a scam and only take your money. Is this true?

No, payday loans are an excellent alternative to conventional loans in many instances. ICA will always provide you with great customer service, guaranteed.

Am I able to renew my loan?

In order to renew a loan, their past loan must be paid off and must have remained up to date on past payments. The customer must update their contact information to the most current information and bring in your most current bank statement and check stubs. Amount of the new advance will vary on if your financial situation has changed. A loan fee is applied to the advance amount (amount varies depending on size of the loan taken out – see our loan fee chart), along with a state fee.

Do I have repayment options or what are the implications if I cannot repay the loan back right away?

If the customer is eligible for a re-payment plan (RPP) and wishes to exercise their right, it can only be entered into an RPP at the branch location in which the advance was originally taken out. After entering the appropriate information into the Repayment Plan Contract, the employee will verify the customer’s next 3 pay dates, the total due will include the RPP fee and be divided into 3 equal payments. Customer must pay each installment in cash, cashier’s check or money order. Payments may be made on or prior to an installment due date and must be applied toward the most current installment due. Defaulting on the repayment plan includes missing a scheduled due date and/or paying less than the determined amount. We send the check to the bank for the entire face value.

Are there implications if I just can’t repay the loan?

We will make numerous attempts to contact you with the information that you provided. Failure to contact us immediately to satisfy this debt will leave us no choice but to pursue other avenues in the collection of your contractual obligation. This could include civil litigation or sale of the debt to a third party collection agency. Other than if the customer entered the RPP (as listed above) no additional fees other than the RPP fee or NSF fee (if necessary) is applied to the loan.

How soon can I receive my cash advance?

You can receive your cash advance as soon as 15-20 minutes if you are applying at one of our physical locations. If approved, you will walk out with money the same day!

How do I repay my cash advance?

It’s simple; you have the choice to pay with cash or a money order. You could also request that your check be deposited and presented for payment to your bank.

How is my re-payment due date calculated?

All cash advances are generally due on your next payday.

Can I pay my loan back early?

Yes, you can pay your loan back early. In addition, if you repay the loan in its entirety with 1 business day of taking out the loan, you will be entitled to a refund of the fees you paid upon origination.

After my existing cash advance is paid, how soon after can I apply for another payday loan?

You can apply for a cash advance the same day.

Are there any application or processing fees?

There is no application or processing fees.

Fake Collection Calls

It has come to our attention that people around the U.S. are receiving calls from “collectors” purporting to be employees of Instant Cash Advance Corporation. These calls are happening across the country, from Alaska to New York.

We would like to notify you that if you received one of these calls, it was most likely a scam. We apologize for the confusion, and we are actively investigating the occurrences.

In the meantime, if you receive one of these calls and any of the following is true, please gather as much information as possible and send it to –

  • If you have never resided in the state of Michigan, the call is a scam. We only do business with Michigan residents.
  • If the call originates from any state other than Michigan, it’s not from INSTANT CASH ADVANCE Corporation and is a scam. We only have offices in the State of Michigan.
  • Caller threatens any kind of criminal prosecution – for example “The police will be notified and will be knocking on your door.”

Other folks have called the scammers bluff and tell them to go ahead and collect.

Frequently Asked Questions

How did they have my personal information?
Most likely you requested a payday or personal loan from a fictitious company online at some point – unfortunately, you probably gave it to them.
Why do they use the INSTANT CASH ADVANCE CORP Name?
We have a web presence – they most likely found our web site and see people can find us on Google – so it makes the scammer look legitimate.
Do you prosecute people criminally for delinquent cash advances?
No, Instant Cash Advance Corp. only makes loans in the State of Michigan. As a means of last resort, we would only use Michigan civil courts, never criminal.

Large Value Loans

Note that Instant Cash Advance Corp located in Michigan ONLY lends in Michigan, maximum loan amounts are $600 and we do not solicit customers via robo calls with “preapproved” as a part of that call.

People around the U.S. are receiving automated calls from a company CLAIMING to be “Instant Cash Advance” or other legitimate lenders – but in reality, they are a criminal organization taking advantage of folks. We are sharing this information with U.S. Governmental agencies in an attempt to stop these abuses. Please send your stories to and we will share them with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and other agencies responsible for stopping these activities.

How this scam is working is the representatives will encourage the consumer to purchase a Green Dot card or other prepaid visa and load it with a few hundred dollars. They capture the information for this card, with the proposed intent of loading the loan of up to thousands of dollars. But in reality, they strip the card of any monies loaded on it.

We are not aware of any legitimate short term lending firms that require a “payment” prior to lending.
What is the most money Cash Advance companies will lend?
This varies state by state. In the case of www.instantcashadvancecorp.com, we are capped at $600 per license, though in some cases folks can get up to $1,200 by getting two loans from different licensees.

Web Loans No Longer Available

Dear Web Loans Customers:

After many years of offering this service, we have decided to take down Webloans. We have decided to refocus our energy on the growth of our Branch Locations, community service and customer service.

If you have an existing contract, this will not cancel any agreements and your balances will be due as scheduled. You will not, however, be able to re-advance online.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused, and we are very grateful to your patronage. We wish to extend an invitation to you to come into one of our Branch Locations. Just as with our Webloans, our Branch Locations provide, convenient and confidential access to the cash you need, when you need it. We are open 5 days a week and provide cash in hand, on the day of your visit. No waiting for deposits to post and you can pay back with cash, so you can re-advance as soon as you need to. You can even use coupons in our stores, something unavailable to our Webloans program due to State Laws. Along with these benefits, you can take advantage of our exceptional, personal and friendly customer service.

We look forward to meeting you.

Sincerely,
Instant Cash Advance Corp.
