Ratings and reviews

Scrape up $10 to request to borrow $50. Won't let you borrow. Might get a refund eventually. 😩 This should be illegal. Oh you're vulnerable, you need help? Here's a punch in the face, feel better? Thanks a lot. 😭

Good app . I was advised to leave a message to have myaccount and advance option reinstated.

Untrustworthy this app wants my ID picture and a picture of my face! all for a cash advance? I just needed quick money I don't have time for all of that and no other cash advance app asks me for such things!!! ridiculous!
