I have had nothing but positive experiences borrowing money (thru a payday loan) from this…read morebusiness. My best suggestion -if you are a new customer- is to call in first to make sure you bring in all the documents you'll need to start the process of applying for a payday loan. You can borrow between $100-$255. Mind you, this IS a business so the interest rate on the loans are high. That being said, if you can **borrow money from a friend or family member** DO IT bc that will save you from paying the interest rate. Today I borrowed $255 and I will have to pay back $300 on the last day of the month (when I get paid). Since I just borrowed money 2 months ago I just had to show my most recent bank statement - which you can request from your bank in person OR you can access thru your bank's online banking system. If you call the business over the phone they can help walk you through it so you can find your statement, email it in PDF form then email it to them. Do NOT try to get a payday loan if you don't have a job or I can tell you right now you'd be better off holding a sign begging for change on a street corner. This service is for people who can pay back the loan. I want to add is that this store no longer does personal loans, probably bc everyone is broke bc of COVID so that's not a gamble this business can afford to make. The last thing I'd like to mention and ~what separates this spot from other payday loan places~ is that they have always let me loan out the max amount, whereas other places can treat you like a criminal and only let you borrow $100. I highly recommend this business. 5 stars all the way!

I called in advance to check the prices for american to peso and he quoted me they buy at around 17.5 which was about airport prices. He said through the phone just show me a picture of the exchange rate online and well match the better deal. I found right away Garitasreporte exchanged at 20.0 which i thought was a bit high but hey they said theyd match on the phone. When i got there they send a price match notification for verification to i dont know who but sure i get it. If i didnt get the 20.0 the board said it was around 18 and change. I left too fast after finding out it was a scam that i forgot to take a picture of the board sorry. Well after a wait he told me i was going to get 7800 for 499 american and i said that doesnt sound right what are you charging for a fee. He didnt say, instead he told me the exchange came back and your getting 15 with some change and i just said no picked up the money and left. I understand if they told me thats too high. Even i thought it was high but they didnt even give me the board price or what he told me on the phone. Waist of time and money. Dont let them scam you. Just exchange before you cross.

And since they are a "sister bank" of my bank, which is MyPoint, I would think it would be okay. Apparently they don't provide change unless you open an account with them. WTH! A bank that doesn't provide change!? What a joke. Never am I opening an account with this bank. Instead I went across the street to SDCCU and they happily changed my $20s with no issues since I wasn't a member. Be better with your service Frontwave! I just needed change not a pot of gold.

I recently opened a checking account with Frontwave Credit Union, having heard it was a more…read morecustomer-friendly credit union. On 4/25/26 I initiated a wire transfer. Two days later I was notified by phone that they were refusing to complete the transfer. They claimed, without proof or in- depth research, that the recipient was a fraud. The purpose of the transfer was to purchase a medical device that I had researched and tested, and had found to be the only thing so far that relieved the constant pain I have had for over a month now, due to an injury by a pilates instructor, that also triggered a severe case of shingles. By denying the transfer, they have prolonged my pain and suffering. These banks should not have power to deny wire transfers on the basis of "suspicion" only, and should not have power to tell account holders how they may or may not use their own funds. Because I contested their decision, they have also closed out my account.

Do not waste your time here. I had multiple pay stubs and I work a government job. I literally only…read moreneeded a $100 cash advance. I supplied my blank check, all of my banking information, including my account number and routing number for both my savings and checking accounts. I was able to pull up on my banking app to show that I have direct deposit and that my most recent paystub could be seen within the past 30 days. Again, I have never had a problem who's getting a payday advance. The lady was relatively cordial but she was very much by the book and so I gave her a star because I figured that she is just trying to do her job and not get fired. With that said, I would not recommend coming here. I have had the best experiences at * (1) "Advance America" in Poway * (2) Fast Auto Loans" in Escondido * (3)"Payday Money Centers" in Clairemont & Escondido The first two places will loan you $255 for $300 but (3) only lent me $100. I make approx $1600-1800 so keep that in mind. Lastly, I wanted to add that Clairemont has a ton of payday advance places so I would highly recommend using Yelp to check out your different options. BRING: ~ your most recent paystub from last than 30 days ago ~ your current bank balance (you can show on phone) ~ A blank check that has your name on it (Printed) ~ optional: your checking account number, as well as your routing number for your bank account If this is your first time getting a payday advance then I highly recommend that you write down the names of real references but do not write down the real phone number or even your EMPLOYER! Don't even think about writing down your supervisors name or your main office because if you do not pay your loan back in time then they will call anyone they can, and you run the risk of being super humiliated.

I saw a little sign in the window that said they do DMV registrations, so I pulled in to see what the deal was. This place is TINY, no public restroom, and no place to sit, but don't sweat because you will be in and out of here in a flash. The lady was all business, and she explained that this joint was CASH ONLY and there would be a $25 processing fee on top of the DMV fee. I handed over the cash and she pulled my shiny registration sticker out of the drawer and stapled it to my receipt and paperwork. Three minutes and $25 was well worth avoiding the DMV when you are in a time crunch. The next time I forget to mail in my paperwork on time, I'll be cruising over here.
