Disclosures
Important information about our role, representative costs, and state availability.
Our Role
CashAdvanceFinder.com is not a lender, broker, or creditor and does not make loan or credit decisions. We are an advertising and referral marketplace that connects consumers with third-party lenders, cash advance app providers, and financial service providers. We do not charge you a fee to use our site or services.
If you are connected with a lender or service provider, we may receive compensation from that provider. This compensation may impact how and where products appear on our site. Submitting a request through CashAdvanceFinder.com does not guarantee that you will be approved for a loan or credit product.
Representative APR Examples

Important: These examples are illustrative only. Your actual costs will depend on the specific lender, your state of residence, loan term, and other factors. Always review the Truth in Lending disclosure provided by the lender before accepting any loan.
State Availability
Payday loan regulations vary significantly by state. Some states have banned payday loans entirely, while others impose strict interest rate caps or limit the number of concurrent loans. Cash advance apps are generally available in more states but may have their own restrictions.
States with Rate Caps (36% or less)
Colorado, Connecticut, Illinois, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, Oregon, and others. These states limit the maximum APR that payday lenders can charge.
States with Prohibitions or Heavy Restrictions
Some states have banned payday lending entirely or require specific licensing. Always verify that any lender is licensed to operate in your state.
States with More Permissive Regulations
In some states, payday lenders may charge higher APRs and offer larger loan amounts. Even in these states, individual lenders may have their own limits.
Credit Checks
Submitting a request through CashAdvanceFinder.com may result in a soft credit inquiry, which does not impact your FICO credit score. However, if you are connected with a lender and proceed to apply for a loan with them, they may perform a hard credit pull, which can temporarily affect your score. Cash advance apps typically do not check credit at all.
Responsible Borrowing
Short-term loans, cash advances, and payday loans are not intended for long-term financial solutions and should be used responsibly. Before borrowing, consider whether you can repay the loan on time, explore lower-cost alternatives, and create a plan to avoid future emergency borrowing needs. If you are struggling with debt, consider contacting a nonprofit credit counseling agency such as the National Foundation for Credit Counseling (NFCC).
E-Consent
By submitting a request through our site, you provide your express E-Consent to receive electronic communications from CashAdvanceFinder.com and our network of lending partners. This includes but is not limited to loan offers, disclosures, and marketing materials. Consent is not a condition of service. You may withdraw consent at any time by contacting us.
