Options for a Same Day Cash Loan
First you need to understand what types of loans are offered same day. The most common type of loans that fit into this category are:
- Payday Loans (also referred to as cash advance loans)
- Title Loans
- Credit Card Cash Advances (although some people would not consider this a loan as it more closely resembles a line of credit, but I’ll put it in here just so you consider it as an option).
Since I’ve already gone into long detail about how immediate cash loans work, I won’t do so now, but please read that article if you haven’t done so already.
Issue Number One – Does the Lender Really Offer a Same Day Cash Advance Loan?
One big problem that people run into is that they think they are going to get their cash loan today because the lender offers ‘fast cash loans’, or ‘same day cash loans no credit check’….but they don’t end up getting the cash until tomorrow. Even some lenders that advertise 1 hour loans at times can take one or two days to process the loan. So what is the problem? How come you didn’t get your cash in one day as promised? Usually the answer in these situation is the cutoff times. Payday and title loan lenders usually operate according to normal banking hours, which means if you want a cash loan now then you will need to have your application approved by 3:00 or 4:00 PM, and this is true for both brick and mortar companies and internet based lenders (although you can find some brick and mortar companies that are willing to still extend you the loan and are able to since they can give you cash instead of wiring funds into your bank account). Again, the main issue is that cash has to be wired into your bank account, which the lender obviously can’t do if your bank will not accept a wire transfer after a certain time.
Issue Number 2 – Some Lenders Simply Don’t Offer Same Day Cash Loans
There are many lenders, especially with title loans, where same day loans are not offered. Make sure the lender advertises for something like ’1 hr cash loans’ or ’23 hr cash loans’ – fast cash, or immediate cash loans must might mean ’2 day cash loans’ in reality, since some institutions take one business day for processing.
Summary
Both of these issues can be very frustrating, especially if you need a same day cash loan with bad credit, since you don’t have very many other options. To avoid this, make sure you either ask upfront the timeline for the loan and be very specific that you need the cash today and not tomorrow.
