Frequent Questions
- What's the largest loan amount for which I can qualify?
Due to state laws, the largest loan Emergency Cash can provide is $700.
- How will I know how much money I need?
Emergency Cash's professionals take everything into consideration when setting up your loan, not only how much you need, but also your current debts and income. In the end, our goal is to provide you with the money you need in the short-term without over-extending you in the long-term. We strive to provide our customers with loans that are easy to repay.
- How do your loans work?
All of our loans are payday loans. For small loans of $100 or less, Emergency Cash allows for two pay periods, or up to a maximum of 30-days before payback. Loans of more than $100 must be repaid within 14-days, or your next pay day. Please see our Loan Examples.
- What happens if I only get paid once-a-month and can’t pay back my loan in two weeks?
Emergency Cash will always work with you around a repayment schedule that works best, based on when you get paid. If you get paid monthly, your repayment will not be due for 30-days. Please see our Loan Examples.
- Do you offer any other types of loan arrangements?
We often set up 30-day loan specials, especially for first time customers. It depends on your individual situation. Please see our Loan Examples.
- How much interest will I have to pay?
Our interest rates are the best in the market. Currently, customers pay $15 for every $100 (up to the first $500). Customers pay $10 for every $100 over $500. For example: on a $500 loan, you would pay back $575 by your next pay day. Please see our Loan Examples.
- How does Emergency Cash differ from other payday loan services?
Beyond offering the best rates in the market, we are committed to customer care, and we take each customer’s situation seriously. We offer an inviting atmosphere that feels more like a financial institution. Rather than walk-up counters, we invite you to sit with our professionals as we take the first steps toward securing your loan. You'll find family-focused amenities in each of our locations, including free Internet access, free faxes, free copies, children's play areas, ample furnishings and popcorn machines. We invite you to stop in for a visit in any of our locations throughout South King County.
- Why is Emergency Cash so focused on customer care?
