“$100 instant” is the standard scenario from the methodology; “—” means a fee needed for it isn’t published, or the product is a loan priced differently.

Advances and loans are checked differently

A cash advance app takes the money back from your next deposit, so it mostly cares whether that deposit will arrive. That’s why the advance apps look at your bank account rather than your credit file.

Loans repaid over weeks or months work differently. Possible says credit scores aren’t used to decide, but its checks include “a Clarity check”. Varo says its advance is “subject to evaluation of consumer reports” but that applying has no impact on your credit. Clair’s terms describe a soft inquiry. Each app’s page has the full wording.

If you need a small loan rather than an advance, a federal credit union’s payday-alternative loan is capped at 28% APR under NCUA rules.

Questions

Do cash advance apps check your credit?

Most say they don’t. 22 of the 28 apps and products here state on their own pages that they run no credit check. The others either use a soft inquiry, review consumer reports in some way, or don’t say: their wording is quoted on this page.

What do they check instead?

Your bank account: how old it is, whether regular pay or benefit deposits arrive, your balance and spending. That’s why almost all of them ask you to link the account where you’re paid.

Will a cash advance app hurt my credit score?

Not by checking it, for the apps that say they don’t. Many advance apps’ terms also say they don’t report missed repayments to credit bureaus. Loans are different: an installment lender may report your payments, which can help or hurt.

Is “no credit check” a sign of a good deal?

No; it says nothing about cost. Among apps with no credit check, a $100 instant advance costs from $0.00 to over $20 on published terms. Compare the cost, not the slogan.
