Questions people ask before they apply

A cash loan you request and receive entirely online, without visiting a branch. At Express Cash, cash loans range from $300 to $1,500 and are repaid in instalments over 61 to 120 days. Eligibility is confirmed through a secure bank connection instead of documents or a credit check.

Yes. Express Cash uses Instant Bank Verification (IBV) instead of a credit check. IBV is a secure, read-only connection that confirms your income and banking activity directly from your bank account. Your credit file is never pulled, so applying leaves no trace on your credit score.

You can apply if you are 18 or older, a Canadian citizen with a Canadian bank account, employed for at least 3 months, and paid at least $1,200 per month by direct deposit. Applications cannot be approved when income comes only from self-employment, retirement savings, student loans, KOHO accounts, the child tax credit, ODSP or social assistance.

Approved funds are sent by Interac e-Transfer. If your bank account has Auto-Deposit enabled, the transfer is deposited automatically; otherwise, you accept it and answer a security question. When the transfer appears in your account depends on your bank's settings, not on Express Cash.

Repayment is spread over 61 to 120 days in weekly or bi-weekly instalments that follow your pay schedule. You can repay early, in full or in part, at any time without penalty. All costs are disclosed in your loan agreement before you sign.

A payday loan is normally repaid in a single payment on your next payday. An Express Cash cash loan is an instalment loan: repayment is spread over 61 to 120 days, so one emergency does not claim an entire paycheque. Our personal loan vs payday loan guide compares the two structures in detail.

The most important factor for quickly improving a credit score is making on-time bill payments. On-time payments have the greatest impact on your score, followed by reducing your credit utilization rate. Even small adjustments, such as paying down part of your balance before the statement date, can have a positive effect within a few weeks.

Improving a credit score can take anywhere from a few weeks to several months, depending on your starting situation. Actions such as correcting errors on your credit report or lowering your balances can produce relatively fast results, while building a strong credit history requires more time and consistency.

Yes, it is possible to get a loan even with a low credit score. Some lenders, such as Express Cash, offer tailored solutions with a simplified approval process and no credit check, allowing you to access funds quickly while continuing to work on improving your credit score.

Yes. Our application, review and e-Transfer funding all run 24/7, including weekends and statutory holidays. The process is the same at midnight as it is at noon.

The e-Transfer is sent once your agreement is signed. Most banks make the funds available within minutes of the transfer being accepted, and autodeposit makes it even faster because there is nothing to accept manually.

We use instant bank verification (IBV) rather than a traditional credit check. IBV securely confirms your income and account activity, which means a low credit score does not automatically disqualify you.

A steady income, an active Canadian bank account with online banking, a valid email address and a phone number. The application itself takes about ten minutes.

Loans start at $300 and go up to $1,500. Dedicated options include the $500 loan, $1,000 loan and $1,500 loan.

Your loan agreement shows the APR that applies to your loan, every payment amount and date, and the total to repay, all before you sign. Our pricing complies with applicable Canadian lending laws.

No lender can honestly guarantee approval for everyone, and offers that promise it deserve suspicion. Every Express Cash application is genuinely reviewed. What "24/7" means with us is that the review happens at any hour, not that the answer is always yes.

Repayment is set up as fixed payments on a schedule aligned with your paydays, all laid out in your agreement before you sign. If you ever anticipate trouble making a payment, contact us early and we will work with you.

Yes. Once a loan is fully repaid, you can apply again whenever a new need comes up, and returning customers move through the process faster because your file is already established. Existing customers can also use the loan renewal option from their account.

Not literally. Every legitimate lender verifies income and banking activity before making a decision, and some applications are declined. What "instant approval" usually describes is a fast, streamlined review, not a skipped one. A lender promising approval for everyone is a warning sign, not a convenience.

Approval is the lender's decision to grant your loan. Receiving the money is a separate step: approved funds are sent by Interac e-Transfer, and when they appear in your account also depends on your own bank's settings, such as Auto-Deposit. The two moments are related, but they are never the same thing.

Because a responsible lender confirms that a loan fits your situation before sending money. At Express Cash, the review is based on your income and banking activity through Instant Bank Verification (IBV), a secure read-only bank connection, instead of a credit check. Applying leaves no trace on your credit file.

Yes. With Auto-Deposit enabled on your bank account, an approved loan sent by e-Transfer is deposited automatically, with no security question to answer. Without it, you accept the transfer manually. Either way, the setting belongs to your bank account, not to the lender.
