Instant Cash Advance – Instant PayDay
We started out as Instant Cash Advance Corp. back in 1999, providing a less expensive alternative to bank NSF (insufficient fund) fees, by serving over 100,000 Michigan customers with quick, easy and confidential payday loans. Over the years we have formed close partnerships with companies, offering specific expertise and services, which transitioned into multiple brands, allowing us the opportunity to help even more people. All of our branch offices are licensed and regulated by the State of Michigan under the deferred presentment act. We pride ourselves on providing a valuable service to our hard-working customers who occasionally find themselves in a pinch, with discreet, efficient, and professional service.

December 1999
A New Company Formed
Steve Leach, Cathy Farr and John Durkee were looking for a business opportunity after John had suffered an injury to his leg in a semi accident. Steve had previously provided marketing services for one of the early adopters in what is now known as “cash advance” or “payday loan” industry and like most of the population they had suffered onerous NSF fees for the occasional failure to account for all spending and having a check returned and recognized an opportunity to provide consumers the ability to get just a little help to make it to the next payday. Instant Cash Advance Corp was formed with the first store located in Grand Rapids.

Tough Economy
As the U.S, economy shrunk, and political climate became less business friendly the industry suffered massively as banking relationships were pulled thousands of businesses were idled and employees laid off. Instant Cash Advance Corp persevered by paying down debt and shrinking store counts. Services like the purchase of unwanted jewelry was added as a service.

Instant Cash Advance has provided assistance when I really needed it. In emergency cases of need I have received funds to pay housing costs and transportation related costs. Without the funds available to me through Instant Cash Advance, I possibly would not have a place to live in Michigan where I work, or a car with gas and insurance to get to work. I have enjoyed the business and friendly relationship with Instant Cash Advance personnel.
