Pawn loans vs. other quick cash options
A pawn loan doesn’t need a bank account, a pay stub, or a credit check. The loan is secured by your item, so if you can’t repay, you simply lose the item. There are no collection calls and nothing goes on your credit report.
That makes pawn loans a simple option when you need cash for a few weeks and have something of value you’d rather not sell. When you’re ready, repay the loan and your item comes back to you.
Tips to get the most from your pawn loan
- Bring chargers, cases, remotes and accessories with electronics and tools.
- Make sure phones, tablets and laptops are charged and signed out of accounts like Apple ID or Google so we can check they work.
- Keep your loan ticket somewhere safe. It has your due date and loan details.
- Put your due date in your phone so you can repay or extend your pawn loan in time.
