If you need some quick cash, you might want to check into Check Into Cash. The company offers short-term payday advances and check cashing services through more than 1,000 stores in 30 US states and the UK, with loans available online in some states. To receive the payday loan, customers write a personal check to Check Into Cash to cover the amount borrowed (usually between $50 and $1,000), plus fees. The company holds the check until the customer's next payday, then cashes it. Customers must provide proof of ID, income, and residence, with an active checking account. Check Into Cash was founded by chairman Allan Jones in 1993.
