• How much does a refinance cost?

  The out of pocket cost to refinance is your original loan’s finance charge. The finance charge will depend on the amount you borrow and state in which you live. Not all states allow for refinancing. Our Rates and Terms page details the finance charges for your state and desired loan amount.

• What is a refinance?
  A refinance allows you to revise your payment schedule for repaying your debt. Refinancing allows you to pay only the finance charge on your original loan and subsequently enter into a refinanced loan agreement. In some states a portion of the principal is required to be paid as well. By refinancing a loan, you pay more over the life of the loan than would have otherwise been paid if the original loan had been paid in full on its original due date. The refinanced loan will have the same costs as the original loan did, assuming there is no additional principal added. Cost detail can be found in the Truth in Lending Disclosure boxes located on your loan contract. Refinances must be submitted by 7:45 PM EST the business banking day before your loan is due.
• What if a refinance is not available in my state?
  Cash Central is a state licensed lender or arranger. We loan in accordance with state's financial regulations. If your state does not allow the refinance option we can offer you a courtesy extension. Please call 1-800-460-4305 for more details.
• What if I can’t make my scheduled payment on my due date?

  View repayment options:

• Can I pay down my principal when I refinance?
  You can pay down your principal at any time of the loan and refinance period and we encourage you to do so. There may be state and product restrictions.
• How many refinances can I take?

  The amount (or availability) of refinance options varies by state. To discover how many refinances are available or if your state law allows refinances, visit our Rates and Terms page and look under Repayment Options.

  Utah Residents Only: A payday loan may only be refinanced (or rolled over) for a maximum of 10 weeks after the day on which the loan was executed.

  Just need a little more time? Process your courtesy extension.

  Refinance* your loan.

  A refinance allows you to pay off your loan with the proceeds of a new loan. Instead of paying the full amount on your original due date, you pay the finance charges associated with the previous loan and applicable principal reduction**. We recommend paying an additional amount toward the principal balance so as to reduce the finance charges you will pay on subsequent due dates. You must complete your refinance request on our website before 7:45 PM EST one banking business day*** before your loan is due. By refinancing a loan, you will pay more interest than if you pay your loan in full on the original due date. We also have other payment options that may be available to you. To learn more about these options or making extra principal payments, see loan details or call our Customer Service department at 1-800-460-4305. Please remember that if you cannot repay your loan in full on its due date, you should contact us at least one banking business day*** before your loan is due.

  Due to varying state laws, refinances may not be available in some states and/or all products. See the options available in your State.

  Missouri residents: on the original due date, your payment will be the finance charge due plus 5% of the principal balance.

  Monday – Friday, excluding Federal Holidays

  We have other payment options available.

  Loan approval is quick.* Simply fill out the 3-step application and you’ll know your approval status in moments.

  At times additional information may be necessary to complete the application. Applicants from Nevada and Washington are required by state law to present certain income verification during the application process, which may lead to some minor delays.

• What if I request my loan on a Friday?
  A loan approved on Monday through Thursday before 7:45 PM EST is usually deposited in your account on the following day. Due to bank hours and days of operation, a loan approved after 7:45 PM EST on Thursday will usually be deposited in your account on the following Monday or business banking day. Loan requests submitted on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday (before 7:45 PM EST) will generally fund the following Monday or business banking day. Loans requested after 7:45 PM EST on Sunday will generally fund the following Tuesday.

• Why do I need to wait 3-4 days to get a new loan?
  In many states, a waiting period is required before a customer is able to request a new loan from the same lender. In other cases, Cash Central needs to verify the original funds have cleared your bank account to avoid scheduling two loans at once.
• Why are there so many places to sign?
  Cash Central believes in being secure, reliable and state law compliant. As a point of assurance in your transaction, Cash Central does require several signatures. These signatures not only allow you to acknowledge your transaction, they also allow you a physical trail of your transaction.

All steps go toward assuring you of a legitimate and secure transaction.

Loans requested after 7:45 PM EST on Sunday will generally fund the following Tuesday. Loans requested on holidays (before 7:45 PM EST) will fund the next banking day. Customers entering into their first loan with Cash Central may experience a delay in loan funding. The timing and receipt of new and returning customer loan funds is dependent upon how your bank handles the transaction.
• Can I request more than one loan at time?
  No. We don't believe in getting our customers into a situation where it may be hard to repay their loan. Cash Central's core belief in responsible lending allows us to serve our customers one at a time. Once a current loan is paid, you are welcome to take another subject to state imposed cooling off and bank clearing periods.
