Inside your playbook

Three options compared

The three fast money options compared side by side: cash advance apps, same day funding loans, and early paycheck access, with the real timing and limits of each.

App compatibility guide

A compatibility guide that shows which apps and lenders work with Chime, Cash App and PayPal, and which ones do not require direct deposit or Plaid.

When apps fall short

The step up chapter: what to do when an app limit is too low, how a one form loan marketplace works, and the questions to answer before submitting.

While you wait

LendingTree

If your gap is larger than a cash advance app can cover, a personal loan marketplace lets you request offers from multiple lenders with one form at no cost to you. LendingTree is the marketplace we cover in the playbook’s step up chapter.
