Pros and cons

Pros

  • CashNow charges no fee for the loan request service, so the request itself costs nothing
  • There is none, which suits people a credit file would weigh against
  • Funds can be available as soon as the next business day after approval, and same day funding is offered
  • Borrowing covers $500 to $10,000, with payday, personal and cash-advance products listed

Cons

  • As a marketplace, CashNow sits in the smallest lender group on the site, so a request is passed to a partner rather than priced by the site
  • Phone is not among the support channels at email and help centre, so help is written rather than spoken
  • The balance a borrower can ask for stops at $500 to $10,000, so a larger shortfall needs a different source of money

Who it suits

  • US residents and citizens with regular income and an active checking account
  • Borrowers whose credit file would normally be a hurdle, since there is none
  • Anyone facing an expense between paydays who needs money by the next business day after approval

Who should look elsewhere

  • Borrowers after a large sum, since the top of the range is $500 to $10,000 while Monzo Flex runs to £10,000 to £35,000
  • Readers who need help by phone, since phone is not among the support channels at email and help centre
  • Readers who want a lender that sets its own price, since CashNow is a marketplace

Who runs it

CashNow is run by Great LLC, registered in the United States, and works as a marketplace, so a request is passed to lending partners rather than funded by the site itself. Applicants need US residency or citizenship, regular income, a waiting period of continuous employment, an active checking account, current email and phone details, and a minimum age. Support runs on email and help centre, so help is written rather than spoken.

Frequently asked questions

Does CashNow charge a fee for a request?+

CashNow charges no fee for the loan request service, so nothing is taken out of a request. Interest and any charges come from the partner that funds the loan, which is why the rate and terms you are shown still need reading carefully.

Does CashNow run a credit check?+

There is none when you ask for a quote, which makes the service usable when a credit file would count against you. The partner lender still decides on approval once your request reaches it.

How much can I borrow from CashNow?+

Borrowers ask for $500 to $10,000. The smallest end suits a bill or a short gap until pay, while the top covers a larger repair or an unexpected cost. A partner may approve less than the amount requested.

How quickly do funds arrive?+

Funds can be available as soon as the next business day after approval, and same day funding is listed. Approval comes first, so the timing then depends on the partner lender and on your bank.

Who can apply through CashNow?+

Applicants need US residency or citizenship, regular income, a waiting period of continuous employment, an active checking account, current email and phone details, and a minimum age. Those are the conditions a partner lender works from.

Is CashNow a lender or a marketplace?+

It is a marketplace, so your request is passed to lending partners and the offer, rate and terms come from whichever partner responds. That is the trade-off for a quick route to $500 to $10,000 without none.

How do I get help from CashNow?+

Support runs on email and help centre, so questions go by email or through the help centre rather than a spoken call. Worth knowing before a payment date lands on a loan that is already running.
