About Cash Advance

A Cash Advance is an advance of money to help you meet your short-term financial needs. Typically, the loan is repaid on your next payday, which is why a Cash Advance is also referred to as a payday loan. (If you need a larger amount, or a longer-term loan, try an Installment Loan)

When you apply for a Cash Advance, all applicable fees are stated in the loan agreement. You can estimate your payments using this calculator

If your first payment was deducted from your account, you still have the option to repay the remainder in cash at a Money Mart store. The payment must be made at least three business days prior to the next due date, and the entire outstanding loan must be repaid, not just that payment amount.
