Sometimes people need emergency cash to meet unexpected expenses quickly and conveniently. Some typical circumstances requiring fast cash include: emergency car repairs, sudden repairs to the home, that suddenly unbearable toothache, or a child's trip to the Urgent Care Center may require an emergency cash advance. A typical short-term loan is from $100-$500 and can be obtained by visiting one of our participating locations*.

At the store, you simply write out a personal check for the amount you are qualified to borrow plus the finance charges, and you receive your cash instantly. The check is held until your next payday; at that time you may pay off your loan in cash or we will deposit your check to pay it off.

Applying for and obtaining quick cash in this way is relatively simple. You will need a valid bank account, a steady source of income, and identification. The typical term for one of these loans is 14 days.


* The availability of payday loans depends on your state's law.

If you need money to pay unexpected bills then a line of credit might be the answer. Affordable payments are only required once a month and you are never charged interest on the credit you don't use. Buckeye Title Loans of Virginia, Inc., conveniently located within CheckSmart locations, offers secured lines of credit. Credit lines are offered from $100 to $5,000. Lines of credit up to $5,000 may be available if your vehicle title is free and clear of liens. Bring in your original title, the vehicle you wish to use as collateral and current registration to drive away with the cash you need today!

At Checksmart, we cash all types of checks – payroll, insurance, personal, tax refund, settlement, government and social security checks. Many times banks may not cash your check if you do not have an account with them or they may hold your check until it clears. That’s why there’s Checksmart. We’re open convenient hours and well after the bank has closed. Plus, the majority of our locations are open on Sundays and some locations are open 24 hours a day!
