  What if I need to extend my payment?

  Loan Extensions are granted at the discretion of CashNetUSA and are not available in all states. To see if you are eligible for an extension, go to the Rates & Terms page and select your home state from the map. To extend a loan, the fee for the original loan must first be paid on the due date. After paying the original loan fee, you will be contracted for an additional loan, for which you will be charged an additional fee. The length of the extension will be governed by your pay dates and the rules displayed on the Rates & Terms page for your state. The extension fee is calculated the same as the original loan fee. Fees for loans and extensions are found on the Rates & Terms page for your state. If you qualify for a Loan Extension, you can request one by

  What is the loan fee?

  The loan fee is specific to your state of residence, click here to see the rules that apply to you. If you have received a coupon, you will receive appropriate discount off the fee. Provide the coupon code when you fill out your loan application.

  What if I want to pay early?

  Contact us if you want to pay your loan off early. If you pay off early, you may be entitled to a refund of part of your loan fee.

  What if I can't repay my loan on the due date?

  If you can’t repay the full amount of your loan on the due date, you may be able to request a loan extension by logging into your member account.

  What if I don't have the money in my bank account to satisfy the loan or extension?

  You must contact us immediately to set up payment arrangements. If your debit comes back for any reason from the bank, we will initiate collection procedures immediately and you will be unable to ever receive future loans from us.

  What does end of loan action mean?

  The end of loan action is the chosen action that occurs when your loan comes due. It is initially set by you when you apply for a loan.

  • To change your End of Loan Action, you can log into your profile, click on “loan history”, click on the “loan details” link, and click on the “End of Loan Action” dropdown box and select the action you would like to occur. You can change the End of Loan Action up to the business day before your due date.
  • If loan extensions are available and the end of loan action is set to extend, the loan will extend on the due date, extension fees will be deducted and the loan principal plus a new fee will carry to the new due date. Once extensions are exhausted, loans will be paid in full.
  
  
  • If the end of loan action is set to pay in full, the loan will be paid in full on the due date. Even if the end of loan action is set to pay in full, customers may log into their account and request an extension.

  How does an ACH payment operate?

  The single-payment ACH Authorization used by CashNetUSA behaves the same as a paper check. Once presented to your bank for payment of the loan, it will send the specified amount of loan fees and or principal, (depending on if the loan is paid-in-full or extended on the due date) to CashNetUSA to satisfy the loan agreement. If the payment is returned for reason of insufficient funds, CashNetUSA can and will re-present the ACH Authorization to your bank.

  When I pay off a loan, how soon can I receive another loan?

  It normally takes 2 business days for your payment to clear to the bank. Once the payment clears, we can issue you another loan. The new loan will fund to your bank account the business day after payment clears.
  Example: Your due date is Friday. Your full payment comes out on that date. The payment will clear on Tuesday and your new loan will fund to your account on Wednesday

  Can I revoke my ACH payment?

  No. The ACH Authorization can only be revoked AFTER we have received payment in full of the amount owed. Because our advances are single payment advances (that is, we advance a sum of money that is to be repaid in a lump sum), we are permitted to require ACH repayment in accordance with the federal Electronic Funds Transfer Act (“EFTA”).
  
  Under The EFTA, a lender cannot require a consumer to repay a loan by means of preauthorized electronic funds transfers as a condition to approving the consumer’s loan. The term “preauthorized electronic funds transfer” is narrowly defined by the EFTA to mean “an electronic funds transfer authorized to recur at substantially regular intervals.” As explained by the Federal Reserve Staff in its official commentary to the EFTA, “Creditors may not require repayment of loans by electronic means on a preauthorized, recurring basis.” 12 C.F.R. 205, Supplement I – Official Staff Commentary, at 10(e) (1) (Loan Payments). As a one-time payment, the repayment of a CashNetUSA advance is not encompassed by the EFTA’s definition of “preauthorized electronic funds transfer,” and is therefore permitted under the EFTA.
