In Canada, a cash advance is another name for a payday loan. You borrow up to $1,500, depending on your province and income, and pay one set fee. Many people use one to cover a bill when payday feels far away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-does-a-cash-advance-work\">How Does a Cash Advance Work?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is what to expect when you get a cash advance from Speedy Cash:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Borrow $100 to $1,500, based on your province and income.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Repay the balance on your next paycheque. Alberta customers have the option of scheduled payments instead.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In most cases, funding is available within 30 minutes after approval.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-is-a-cash-advance-the-same-as-a-payday-loan\">Is a Cash Advance the Same as a Payday Loan?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes.

Both describe a short-term loan tied to your next paycheque. Your province sets the cost and rules either way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-can-i-get-a-cash-advance-with-less-than-perfect-credit\">Can I Get a Cash Advance with Less-than-Perfect Credit?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, you are welcome to apply.
