Founded in 2006, 1FirstCashAdvance Financial Help, LLC is an online service helping match borrowers to lenders. This is not a direct lender. It is a service that helps people find a relevant potential lender with just one application.

1F Cash Advance focuses on bad-credit, short-term lending, and a credit check may be required depending on the lender you are matched with. You can apply for loan amounts between $100 and $1,000, and the application requires personal information about you, your state, residence, as well as your social security number.

I'm a customer of yours and I just wanted to say how impressed I am with your customer service. My loan officer is so helpful, and I appreciate that you've always been prompt in responding to my questions. It's also great that your branch manager is so approachable and friendly—I feel like he really cares about his customers.

I needed a small amount of money when I had only a few days left until payday. My credit is good, but not great, so I was worried that no one would approve me for a loan—but 1first Cash Advnace did! They gave me the best rates in town and had my money within 24 hours.

When I first started working, I didn't have a lot of money. And when it came time to pay my rent, I realized that I wasn't going to be able to cover the entire amount in one go. So I went to a payday loan company and took out a $500 loan, which was supposed to be paid back over the course of a month. Amazing experience!

Willie Lake Oswego, OR

I had a very tough living situation, and the only option was to borrow money from my friends or apply for a small loan. I didn't know what to do, and most of all, I didn't want to bother my dear friends. So, I decided to get a loan. It was complicated to choose the most appropriate company as I wasn't familiar with such loan application processes and had zero experience in such a financial matter. A friend of mine advised me to contact 1FirstCashAdvance Financial Help. And I need to say that they deserve to have that title as they do provide financial help in more ways than one. Thanks to 1FirstCashAdvance, I've become closer to be financially educated, and now I make financial decisions more confidently.

Imagine that you're in a terrible financial situation and nobody can help you to resolve this problem. You've been fired from your work, you have a lot of debts, etc. It's indeed horrible. I didn't know what to do, I was really desperate. Only 1FirstCashAdvance helped to come closer to the solution to my problem. They allowed me to receive the required sum, and thanks to them, I finally started getting out of my debt crisis.

Today I've applied for a payday loan and I've received very fast answer regarding my approval. It took only some minutes to get it. I was very worried that I would have to wait for some days. I didn't have so much time to wait. I'm very happy that the loan approval process has passed so fast! So, I definitely advice this service for people who really need an emergency loan.

I never leave comments or reviews, as I don't see any sense. BUT. This time I've thought it's necessary to share my opinion with people as it's one of the most reliable loan connecting services I've seen. The customer service politeness and responsiveness made my experience worthy of recommending this company to others. I assure you that no one of you will not regret after using their service. P.S. If you want to get the best service, ask for Victoria ;)
