Q&A: Can I get a payday advance with only a savings account?

Question by subtlebeauty: Can I get a payday advance with only a savings account?
I have a full-time job and I go to school full time, but since I bought my books I won’t have enough money to pay for my rent, and I heard that I could get a payday advance to my next payday, but I only have a savings account, will I still be able to get one?

Yes. They don’t usually ask whether it’s a checking or savings account. And you don’t have to tell them. You just have to provide a legit account. Their only concern is that if they have to go collect on the funds, that the account is open and has the funds in it. They will however want a bank statement though, to prove that it is valid. If you don’t receive them by mail, you can either print one out or go to your bank and have them do it but they might charge you a small fee for doing it. You may also be able to get one through your own bank since they do them now as well and usually for better rates. And you can do them online and the money is immediately available an goes directly into your account.
