-- What is a "cash advance" or "payday loan"?
A cash advance or payday loan is a small, short-term loan (usually $500 or less) that is paid back plus interest on your next "payday."

-- What can a payday loan be used for?
You can use the money for whatever you like. Typically, payday loans are used to pay a bill or make a purchase that must be made within a few days. Payday loans are intended as a short-term financing solution for cash flow problems, and should not be used as a long-term solution.
