I had a struggle with some documents when I went in to cash my check. They helped me get what I…read moreneeded to cash my check, both ladies were patient and helpful and I walked out with my cash. Whenever I need to cash a check, I take it down there and I'm in and out of there quickly!

I've used them one time, and that was when I got a surprise check in the mail from Donald Trump. I…read morebelieve it was a $1,500. 00 Covid check, the first (my only) in a round of many checks sent out to citizens. You remember, the one that was delayed because he insist they all be printed with his name and signature on them? That was funny. So these ladies cashed my check for me for no problem. I don't recall what the rate was, but yeah it was a little bit high, but WTF, it was free money anyway, spread it around to local businesses a little bit. So are they grumpy? Maybe. But grump is subjective, and it sure sounds to me like the context of most of these grump gripers be a little insensitive to normal, adult behavior. Yes, there is short amount of supply for a service only the really needy really need. When you sign the check before you take it in to the check cashing facility, it reveals a very powerful ignorance on the way things work in personal finance. Every institution requires signature in their presence. Expecting them to trade out A fistful of your grimy twenties for fresh, Chris $100 bills without any financial incentive to do so is unreasonable, and the fact that somebody believes it unreasonable to be told no reveals a childish, uninformed mindset. And even if you did not find them meeting your standards of polite etiquette and/or adequate levels of butt kissing, why don't you try to be the person you expect them to be and see if they don't respond with kind words. It really is a shame that inaccurate and unnecessary petty, vindictive, public comments accompanied by one star ratings can drag a small businesses image down so low in today's instant wreckage opportunity. These folks work hard to provide a service for people that have very few choices in the community, usually due to poor choices they've made in their lives. These reviews seem mean-spirited and spiteful, wielded with no regard for the damage they can do to good people's business. Shame shame. You'd think that the lumps they've taken or being schooled that they were wrong would make them a little more humble. This began as a four-star rating, but I'm going to up it to five just for having to put up with people like that.

Frustrated people trying to get a loan which trust me I've been there too so I get that part. But glad to do business here. Both the gentleman from and the 3 ladies from the other day I went were so patient with me and my questions. Thanks for all you guys do and I hope you all have a great day (and maybe your boss gives you all a raise or recognition of some sort) sorry I didn't get all of your names. Thanks again!

Unnecessary Rudeness is the setting for this location (Alvin). I am in awe reading the other…read morereviews. My incident is as follows: 1) Had to cash a Credit Union check for which I do not have an account with. 2) Attempted to do what the majority would do - Deposit the check into my online personal virtual account via my bank's mobile app. 3) I signed the back and took a picture of front and back as I have done before, but this time it was declined because the system could not verify the check. Who knew that the check needed to be verified during NORMAL WORKING BUSINESS HOURS WITH? This defeats the whole purpose of having an online VIRTUAL Account you think?? I then get suggestions that physically going to my bank or to the Credit Union Bank itself or any check cashing establishment would suffice to resolve this issue. * I ONLY HAVE ONLINE BANK. 4) I called this venue to confirm if this was possible, the woman that answered said "You come here tomorrow" after giving them the info on the check and after they called the credit union bank to try to verify.  Not too polished on the customer service thingy I thought, but alrighty then, sounds like a green light for me to go there tomorrow. 5) Next day, I come and the first person who noticed me walk in,  called me to her window, who so happens to be the same person who I spoke with on the phone the day before. 6) Before the exchanging of "Hello, how are you today", she flipped over my check and heckled out "You sign back of check, we cannot cash....you deposit already right?"  Excuse me but WTF was that accusatory statement? coming from the most untrained, unprofessional, tone defiant voice of a woman? 7) At a loss for words, I just turned on the voice recorder on my phone. 8) She then proceeded to call the Credit Union Bank to verify if my check was legit all the while sputtering out "I don't think we can cash for you but I try ok....cause you sign already...but I will try".   9) Personnel on the phone verified that the check is good to go! 10) The disappointment and hate she then exhibited as if I had done her wrong, said..."I call my supervisor, I cannot cash this check, you sign back and deposit already....but I try ok....Fee will be 50%" 11) At this point, I'm having my out of body experience,  trying to hold back the unleashing of a possible KAREN from within. 12) But me being me, I paused any actions as I still had hopes that this power puff woman would just cash my FREAKING CHECK that I she assumed I already deposited and charge me 50%! But NOOO.....instead....she slapped the check onto the counter and as if by default or life lessons she adheres to, to be away with anyone who is of no use to you.  Since she won't cash my check, there is no money to be made from me.  She said, and I will never forget this moment, in Vietnamese (will translate) while doing the 'shoo..go away gesture' with her hand - "OK, go away....get out of here".  Did I report this incident? I did send an email, but as you can see from the many negative reviews that this "long time established" place has...I don't think they really care or even mind. I had a good friend that worked here when it first opened.  She was great.  My apologies to her and to those who will work here in the future.  All I know is that, there can be times, even with all the right training and discipline, will never be able to completely dissolve the true nature of a person's character.  This Customer Teller Rep Bi-Lingual Exchange Student Person is the reason why EDD was created.  We all pay into the system that will pay her to not work.  I've never ranted this aggressively long before, because aside from the Cash Checking trauma ("looking like i still do fraud" song) The bitterness still lingers.

An online payday loan, also known as an online cash advance, is a short-term loan that consists of a small principal which is usually paid back with your next paycheck. Getting a payday loan online with Money Express makes getting emergency funds fast and convenient; especially when going to a payday loan store is difficult or inconvenient. Bridging the gap between paydays isn't always easy when there aren't too many places to turn during a financial shortfall. While your reasons for needing extra cash may be complicated, getting an online cash advance is the opposite. In fact, the process is as easy as completing an online application, getting approved and having access to overnight funding when your loan is approved before the next bank business day. Money Express doesn't deal with FICO scores and credit history. That's the beauty of short-term loans. While online payday loan laws vary from state to state, we adhere to all rules and regulations. Depending on your state of residence, you may need to provide documentation such as a state issued photo identification or social security card. We will also ask for confirmation of employment and income...
