Quick Cash Loans Review
Quick Cash Loans (quickcashloanswow.com) is a Columbus, Ohio-based payday loan service operating physical store locations across the United States, including a San Jose, CA branch. Founded as a short-term lending operation, the company markets itself as a fast-access emergency cash solution for consumers who need funds quickly and may not qualify for traditional bank lending. Their corporate headquarters is listed at 5700 Columbus Square, Columbus, OH 43231, and they provide centralized customer support during weekday and Saturday hours.
The company offers payday loans and cash advance loans of up to $1,000. Applications can be submitted in-store, by phone, or online. In-store applicants at locations like the San Jose branch (1140-1 Lincoln Ave) can receive approval and cash in under 30 minutes during business hours (Monday–Saturday, 8:00 AM–9:00 PM). Online applicants receive an instant decision and can expect funds deposited within one business day. The eligibility requirements are minimal: borrowers must be 18 or older, a US citizen or permanent resident, have proof of income, an active checking account, and a valid email and phone number.
Quick Cash Loans distinguishes itself from hard-pull lenders by performing only a soft credit check, which they state will not affect an applicant's FICO score. They explicitly accept consumers of all credit types, making their products accessible to borrowers with poor or thin credit histories. The dual-channel model — physical storefronts plus an online application — gives consumers flexibility in how they apply. Individual branches have dedicated local phone numbers and branch managers, suggesting some degree of localized service.
However, consumers should read the fine print carefully. The site's own disclaimer states: 'QuickCashLoansWow.com is an online direct lender connecting service, not a lender or broker.' This means applicants who do not qualify with their primary lenders may be referred to third-party providers — a materially different arrangement than a true direct lender. Payday loans carry high APRs by nature, and the site directs users to a separate Rates & Fees page rather than disclosing rates inline. These products are explicitly described as short-term and unsuitable for long-term financial needs. Borrowers should treat Quick Cash Loans as a last-resort emergency option, not a sustainable credit solution.

CreditDoc Diagnosis
Doctor's Verdict on Quick Cash Loans
Quick Cash Loans is best suited for consumers with poor credit who need up to $1,000 quickly and can repay the full balance at their next paycheck — particularly those near a physical branch who need same-day cash. The key caveat is that the company is a lender-connecting service rather than a true direct lender, and payday loan APRs are among the highest in consumer finance, making this a costly option that should only be used as a genuine last resort.
Best For
- Consumers with bad or no credit who need emergency cash within hours
- Borrowers who can repay in full at their next paycheck
- People near a physical branch who need same-day in-store cash
- Those who want a soft credit pull before committing to a loan

New to credit and lending? Here are the key terms used on this page, explained in plain language with real-number examples.
Interest & Rates
APR — Annual Percentage Rate
The total yearly cost of borrowing money, including the interest rate plus any fees the lender charges. Think of it as the 'true price tag' on a loan.
Lenders must show APR by law (Truth in Lending Act) because the interest rate alone can hide fees. Comparing APR across lenders is the most reliable way to find the cheapest loan.
Example
You borrow $10,000 at 6% interest for 3 years, but there's a $300 origination fee. The interest rate is 6%, but the APR is 6.9% because it includes that fee. You'd pay $304/month and $946 total in interest.
Compound Interest
Interest calculated on both the original amount borrowed AND the interest that's already been added. It's 'interest on interest' — and it makes debt grow faster than you'd expect.
Credit cards and many loans use compound interest. If you only make minimum payments, compound interest is why a $3,000 balance can take 15 years to pay off.
Example
You owe $1,000 at 20% annual interest compounded monthly. After month 1 you owe $1,016.67. Month 2, interest is charged on $1,016.67 (not $1,000), so you owe $1,033.61. After 1 year without payments: $1,219.
MAPR — Military Annual Percentage Rate
A special APR calculation used for military servicemembers that includes ALL costs — fees, insurance, and add-ons — capped at 36% by federal law.
The Military Lending Act protects active-duty servicemembers and their families from predatory lending. Any lender charging above 36% MAPR to military is breaking federal law.
Example
A payday lender charges a $15 fee per $100 borrowed for 2 weeks. For civilians, that's technically legal in some states. For military: that works out to 391% MAPR — illegal under the MLA.
Usury Rate — Usury Rate (Interest Rate Cap)
The maximum interest rate a lender can legally charge in a particular state. Charging above this rate is called 'usury' and is illegal.
Usury laws are your main legal protection against predatory interest rates. But beware: some states have weak or no usury caps, and federal banks can sometimes override state limits.
Example
New York caps interest at 16% for most consumer loans (25% is criminal usury). If a lender tries to charge you 30% in NY, that loan is unenforceable — you could fight it in court.
How Loans Work
Collateral — Loan Collateral
An asset you pledge to the lender as security for a loan. If you stop paying, the lender can seize and sell that asset to recover their money.
Secured loans (with collateral) have lower interest rates because the lender has less risk. But you could lose your home, car, or savings if you default.
Example
A mortgage uses your house as collateral. A car loan uses your vehicle. A title loan uses your car title. If you miss payments, the lender can foreclose or repossess.
Fees & Costs
Late Fee — Late Payment Fee
A charge added to your account when you miss a payment deadline. Most credit cards charge $29-$41 per late payment, and many loans have similar penalties.
The fee itself hurts, but the real damage is to your credit score. A payment 30+ days late stays on your credit report for 7 years and can drop your score 60-110 points.
Example
Your credit card payment of $150 is due March 1. You pay on March 18. The bank charges a $39 late fee. If it's 30+ days late, it gets reported to credit bureaus and your 760 score drops to 670.
NSF Fee — Non-Sufficient Funds Fee
A fee your bank charges when a payment bounces because there isn't enough money in your account. Also called a 'bounced check fee' or 'returned payment fee.'
NSF fees hit you twice — your bank charges you AND the company you were trying to pay may charge their own returned payment fee. That's $50-70 for one missed payment.
Example
Your auto-pay tries to pull $350 for rent, but you only have $280 in checking. Your bank charges $35 NSF fee. Your landlord charges $25 returned payment fee. Total damage: $60 in fees.
Legal Terms
Usury — Usury (Illegal Interest)
The practice of charging interest rates higher than what the law allows. Usury laws set state-specific caps on how much lenders can charge.
If a lender charges usurious rates, the loan may be void, penalties can be reduced, or you may be entitled to damages. Know your state's limits.
Example
Your state caps consumer loans at 24% APR. An online lender charges you 36%. That loan may be unenforceable, and you might only need to repay the principal — no interest or fees.
Credit Cards
Cash Advance — Credit Card Cash Advance
Using your credit card to get cash from an ATM or bank. It's one of the most expensive ways to borrow — higher interest rate, immediate interest accrual (no grace period), and an upfront fee.
Cash advances are a debt trap: 25-30% APR with no grace period plus a 3-5% fee. Interest starts the second you withdraw, not at the end of the billing cycle.
Example
You take a $500 cash advance. Fee: $25 (5%). Interest: 28% APR starting immediately. After 30 days, you owe $536.67. After 6 months of minimum payments, you've paid $85 in interest on $500.
