subject: Fast And Easy Cash: Know Your 3 Options [print this page] Even though by far the most popular venue today for obtaining a small loan is online payday loan sites, many people, and you may be one of them have forgotten that there are other still other cash credit options available. Other lenders that are still in business in your community who are issuing quick cash advances to people who need money between checks. Lenders that a lot of time even offer better terms.
Now for sure the Internet hasn't always been around, and in fact it's relatively new if you stop and think about it. So long before people had computers in their homes, they still had other places go to for a loan. Lenders you can still find right in your local community that in many cases can get the money into your hand even faster than you get it from an online payday loan site, which you may find surprising.
Your local pawn broker for sure falls into this category, and in case you've forgotten about them him he still has his doors open for business. Pawnshops or nice too because they don't care about your credit rating, and in fact they don't even do a credit check. The only thing your local pawn shop operator cares about, is the value of the collateral that you've taken in for them to hold.
Also most people surprised to learn the extent of what a pawn shop will except as collateral. In short anything that has value will be considered, and believe it or not there even pawnbrokers that specialize in giving secured loans on vehicles. This means that if you own a car or truck you have the collateral that it takes to get a loan from an pawn lender in your town. Do be aware though that if you aren't there with the cash when the loan comes due you forfeit your collateral.
Then there's always the local bank you can approach for a cash advance, and in fact chances are that there's more than one your town that's willing to talk you. Now banks do make credit checks so your credit does matter there but even so, if you own a home that has equity in it, odds are good that they will lend you the money you need. Also another thing to consider here, is that your local bank will give you a lower rate than an online payday loan service will.
There's no way that your bank is going to process your loan application in 24 hours or less though, like it will be at an online lender, so that means you'll be in for a wait. Then another thing you may not know, is that most banks prefer not to make loans of amounts less than $2500. So what this means, is that if you want to get a loan from bank you're probably going to have to take out a larger loan you may have anticipated.
