A deceiving staff. I spoke with two separate individuals, the last one was the GM (Alina) of the store, to my inquiry about the required docs. for a loan, both repeatedly indicated the only requirements was the driver's license and a check, that was all. Once at the location, they ask me to fill a form, reluctantly I did, they asked to contact my bank to confirm my ID, after which they asked for additional information such a credit report, which never came in ALL the conversations. When I demanded an explanation why asking for documents in bits and pieces, the answer I received from the manager is that if they were to ask form from the beginning people may not show up. After a long drive an hour long arguing I terminated the request and the return of the application and documentation submitted, which they refused to do. As they say: Consumer Beware of this business. read more

I came in here, needed some emergency cash... I worked with Chitquita at PayDay Money Center... She was able to approve me for the Max. I definitely would recommend this place. read more

I have always gone to the Elcajon City on Broadway and the young Hispanic girl that worked there did not want to help me. She claimed my phone didn't work when she called it, but I called my family and my phone rang and I answered it. I feel like she has a racial problem and she didn't wanna help me because of racism. I have always gone there and received good service and this new person did not want to help me it's frustrating it makes you angry to be treated racist.It's hard then the manager was rude .I believe she never dial my phone because it worked for everyone else she did not wanna give me service. read more

Amazing staff, been coming here for a while, and all of the staff know me by name! Shoutout to Susan for her awesome service!

This place is far from speedy it took them 45 mins and two references just to cash a $1000 money order i purchased myself with the receipt still attached... read more

Ease of process and ability to accomplish what I needed to do from the comfort of my home

This place is bad. In order to get a payday loan they do a hard credit check on you as if you were applying for a credit card. If you have worked on your credit score as hard as I had, this is a terrible way way to loose points and not worth for a $255 loan. On top of that you still have to provide other all other documents such as bank statement, paystub, ID, a check etc. When I called to ask what I needed to apply for a loan they did not mention they would be running my credit, I wish they did, as they would have saved me the 10 mile drive. read more

Terrible terrible terrible service - after multiple checks cashed - I was turned down because I had a higher check then normal - rude and long waits and having to pills strings just to cash a paycheck they take a hefty percentage of. Never AGAIN! Horrible read more

This place could be so much more efficient. There was a time you could come in and fill out your forms and then stand in line. Nowadays you have to stand in line, get a form, get out of line, fill out the form, then stand back in line until you are called. What use to take 15 minutes now takes 45 so that you can do business it really sucks. read more

Things happen, very understanding until they keep tapping your account. Your account that in likelihood is INSUFFICIENT FUNDS, so you try and go to office to pay cash. As long as they keep trying to tap your account costing you on your end, you can't pay this loan off with cash until this action subsides. Leaving your ability to take the loan back out until you catch your timing in between this action. It must mean they are are low on cash. I am going in today offer them a partial then closing out my business with them next paycheck as it is Saturday and I can't pay back loan at earliest Monday. I have never run into this problem any place else. Now they won't be getting their money back till my SSDI comes in 10 days! read more

So I use to go to the other location in El Cajon. I really got tired of the bad customer service. I came to the location at 6686 El Cajon Blvd store number 302 and hector and avaro were so kind and approachable ! I come here every 2 weeks and in between the 2 weeks to cash my commissions check so customer service for me is a huge deal. Avaro and hector are amazing ..customer service was amazing and they were so helpful and I felt welcomed! This is my new branch to come to and I will be sending my coworkers to this branch as week!! Thank you avaro and hector for your awesome customer service!!! Your the greatest!!!! 2/20/2018 Tuesday 6pm is the time I came!! read more

Do not go to El Cajon Blvd Speedy cash. There only allowing two people in at a time with only 2 employees. The line wraps around the building. It's a very long wait. read more

This place is a joke, no one know how to do their job. Unprofessional employee couldn't figure out how to do her job. Just got to money tree. read more

What a joke someone from there calls me and tells me to come in so I could get a I go there do what I am supposed to do and they turned me down hate that place read more

Pandemic is hitting the country. Get sent an email saying that Speedy Cash is here to help. I call and they tell me we can extend 5 days. That's not helping when people are not working and it's getting worse and all they care about is their money. I've never missed an installment payment and when I'm done I will never use this P.O.S. company again. read more

Here to repay a payday loan. This should be a simple transaction. We'll, not so much at this location. There are 23 people in line & two people wearing homemade "trainee" badges attempting (badly) to help people. They obviously need help and are asking the manager for assistance. Meanwhile, the fat bastard is sitting at his desk eating not one, but two subway foot long sandwiches. His words to his staff are "make them wait, they'll give up". #SpeedyCashFail read more

I love Speedy Cash on El Cajon Blvd. I always have a pleasant experience there. Every Associate I have been assisted by are very nice and professional. Yolanda is really great. I appreciate the way she addresses me by my name. Ms. Y because she knows that I am an older woman. They are more than glad to offer you a payday loan anytime you are prompt paying it back. They give you a Debit Card which they will load at no cost to you as long as you do it at the branch. Money orders are free too. Don't be afraid to go on down there and see how they can assist you if you need some cash to hold you over til payday. read more

I've been here one time and it was a good experience. My boyfriend used to always go here at one point in time lol. Sometimes there's a line, sometimes there's no line. I feel people are more likely to leave a review on this place if they've had a negative experience versus a positive one so I thought it would be nice to leave a review. It was a bit of a wait But nothing too bad. There's no need to come by again to pay them back you can simply call them and send your payment through the phone . read more

Out of 5 times I've been here I've had to wait more than 30-45mins in the store all the 5 times. All have been at different times & days, when clearly they have more than enough people to shorten down the line. I understand sometimes the tellers have other paperwork or things to attend to but when it's clear they're just chit chatting, then it becomes clear that they don't have their priorities straight which should ALWAYS be the customers. I will no longer be using their services. read more

The manager, Juan, doesn't know how to manage a line in his store. He doesn't really care about who goes next if he's doing something and the other reps don't seem to pay any mind either. They are also all very slow. I don't think they care too much for their Yelp reviews either. They must not see them or care because they already have about 16 reviews and counting and most are negative. Go to MoneyTree instead. read more

The girls here are okay there polite so there ok. But man..... I went in there and there line was out the door !!!! Two cashiers during peak hours really???? I left. I guess they don't want my business or money if there not willing to get more staff. Also, it's REALLY ANNOYING WHEN YOU CALL AND THEY SAY CAN I START OFF WITH YOUR FIRST NAME?? Then you say it then they just say hi _______ how can I help you today. Like really -_- such a waste of time. I get there trying to have good service but that just doesn't push me closer to the company but only farther away read more

I wish I could give this company NO STARS. The are HUGE rip off. I got a loan for $2,600. My payments were $300. I knew I was going to pay high interest but what they never told me is that the first 5 payments was just for them. NOT A PENNY WENT TOWARDS MY LOAN. So, I go in after my first payment to pay the entire loan off and they charged me another payment. So I had to pay $2,900 and they had already gotten a FREE $300. They are so rude once you have recived your lone. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. Go to CASHCALL.COM. The were wonderful and your payments go towards your payoff from the first payoff. read more

Taking so long. I had to standing in the line and waiting for more than an hour. The customer service was bad, the way they working is unprofessional and so slow. Not happy. read more

HORRIBLE. I'd rather panhandle for $100 bucks I was going to take for the next 4 days. Even worse, after deciding not to use the service, they would not return my information. They have retained my SSN and the contact information of two of my personal references! When I called to see what documents I might need, CRYSTAL (the same portly Mexican woman referenced in another review left on here recently) told me I didn't need to bring anything more than an ID, and that I could use their computers for everything else. I get there, and the keyboards don't fit under the windows so I can't. I suggested using the on screen keyboard and young black woman (who was far less rude but still an apathetic waste of space) slid the mouse. Unfortunately their computers didn't seem to have that feature. When I later asked for that to access through a different way, it was suddenly against policy to slide a mouse under... although a keyboard still would have been OK if they could do it... but they can't of course. I'm so mad with this place. I understand why they put their employees behind thick glass. Also, not that I'll be going back, but there is nowhere to park. read more

Easy to get a loan the Montezuma Road branch needs to train their employees on how to use the computer and printer so people don't have to stay there for 10minutes waiting for a copy to be made. read more

Long story SHORT I called in to pay my loan EARLY. I spoke with a male representative who assured me he'd charge my card and I'd be done with it (not to mention I've paid over the phone before). A couple hours went by and I called back because I noticed my card hadn't been charged after speaking with him hours prior. I got a lady this time who said " I cannot pay my loan back early with my card it has to be in person in cash" I let them know my situation and they still told me I had to pay with cash since im early. You'd think they'd have courtesy towards the customers that are on time or in my case early. BUT NOPE read more

check your money before you leave the building they gave me FAKE MONEYthats why she was acting weird. It was the mexican lady, black curly hair kinda chubby. I believe shes the manager. Im going to be re-posting this i just wanna make sure people know what their getting into. 00 stars read more

This is the worst place in the whole entire world to get a loan. Staff is untrained they tell you one thing then the next day its the opposite and they make you look like the crazy one . Dont go here its not worth it borrow from friends read more

The store did not tell me there would be a 5-7 day hold on my account while they waited to "see if the ACH funds cleared". Proof of funds cleared and provided but due to their "policy" they are not allowed to lend for that period of time. Adena the manager was more confrontational than help. Zero stars not available. read more

I've been a customer for awhile now and believe me they are a lot quicker than other payday loan companies. They also provide great customer service and it is a very welcoming environment! Shout out to Vanessa!a She helped me out today and her service was outstanding. She is super down to earth. Thanks for your speedy and welcoming service! read more

OOOOO STARS...... This place is horrible, l got a loan from them, signed all the paperwork, the customer assistance "RUDE", added two sheets to my contract that we never went over, it was in the back, stapled on after she gave me the money.... This showed l was going to pay (5) months of free money to them, nothing going to my principle, this wasn't discuss with me, if l would have known l wouldn't have taken the loan.... When l went to pay the loan off, in a one month period, l had to pay 300.00 extra, the loan was for 2600..... On the contract it states that you'll get some of you interest back for early payback... That's a big joke... All in all, you'll be sorry if you do business with them....... read more

There was two people working the front. One was in the back on his computer and the other one was helping a lady. I waited about 20 minutes before the guy finally came out to help me. he was quick to process my loan for me and very professional. read more

Would give this place a 0 if I could. Walked in, they were busy babbling and took 2 minutes to acknowledge me. Mind you, no customers are in the store. Came in at 7:33 and they close at 8. Ok maybe she was annoyed she had to assist at last minute but business is business. She rushed me and all she kept saying was "I get off at 8, I get off in 5 minutes". It's 7:37 now. Obviously she cant add. I finished app, went to window and the girl that originally assisted said " I leave in 5 minutes, can someone help her?". While I'm at the window waiting to complete the process, the girl is on her cell phone walking around( instead of assisting me) I'm annoyed at this point and thanking God there is a bullet proof window because I didnt feel like catching a case today. Finally, a gentleman came from the back and assisted me. The original girl didn't walk out until 7:54. The moral of the story...customer service SUCKS here. read more

Absolutely TERRIBLE. Let me start off with their customer service. I've encountered 1 or 2 people who were just "meh, nothing special", the rest were down right embarrassing. So right off the bat, they need to retrain their employees. I get that you're stuck behind that window for 8 hours a day, but that's not my problem. So a smile or friendly tone wont kill you. Next off: Wrong information. I was told by numerous people that I could set up payments on my payday loan with NO penalties, and that it would be set up in 4 equal payments. So of course, that's what I went in to do. What does the clerk tell me? I have to let me loan get returned by my bank for NSF ($30 fee) and then put myself in bad standing with them. THEN, I have to pay a $15 processing fee or whatever to even set up the payments. And on top of the now $45 fee to set up payments, it's 3 payments of $105, as opposed to ~$75 (what I budgeted for). Now here's the kicker: IT TOOK THEM 2 WEEKS TO EVEN PROCESS MY LOAN. I called back every few days to check the status of my loan and they kept saying "Call tomorrow. Check on Wednesday. Call Friday. Well now it's the weekend, check on Monday." So fast forward to the day I pay my first payment. I pay it online, it clears through my bank, everything is fine. A couple days later I get a call claiming that I NEVER MADE A PAYMENT. And even though I have it in my bank records that I did, they still didn't honor it!!! So I had to physically go in and pay ANOTHER $105. So now I'm down $105 and don't know where the hell it went. That's just great. But oh hey! It gets even better. Fast forward again to the present. I made my second payment of $105 (for a total of $210 towards my $315 loan, in case you're lost) and everything goes smoothly. Perfect. I'm happy. THEN, I get a letter in the mail today saying that I still owe $210!!!!!! And if I don't pay today it's going to go to a collection agency?!???? OH. MY. GOD. So after sitting on hold for 17 minutes, Brenda (the only positive customer service person I've dealt with through this whole thing), tells me that it says my payments were never posted. THATS $315 TOTAL THAT HAS JUST GONE MISSING. WHAT IN THE F*** IS GOING ON. Long story short, she takes care of it, and I'm good to go. But all this hassle for a loan? Screw that. I'm never taking one out from them ever again. STAY AWAY!!!!! read more

The manager of this place needs some SERIOUS training in management. My boyfriend went into pay with my DEBIT card intending to use my PIN. As anyone in business knows, this does NOT require an ID. After rejecting payment from my boyfriend, I called and spoke to the poor excuse of a manager who ARGUED with me back and forth about how I needed to come in and show ID. I informed him that according to THE LAW that if a transaction is made with a debit card and PIN, NO ID is required. We went back and forth and it got really heated. I asked for his supervisor's number and was told it would take 24-48 hours to get a response ( unacceptable). After him getting frustrated with me several times and continuously hanging up on me, he then FINALLY mentions an 800 number I MAY be able to call and make a payment on. I asked him why he didn't give that information to my boyfriend while he was there AND why did he waited until things got heated with us until he offered the number and he refused to apologize for not offering the info sooner that may have avoided the conflict. But get THIS!!!....my boyfriend went back with cash and asked if they even took debit transactions in the first place and guess what... THEY DON'T!!!! So this "manager" was arguing with me the whole freaking time about showing ID for a DEBIT transaction when they don't even TAKE debit transactions!!!! THEY ONLY TAKE CREDIT!!!! I deserve an ENORMOUS apology from him and the female that was working with him answering the phones because she also had a HUGE attitude. Employees should know that even if a customer is disgruntled it is their job to not only TAKE IT but to APOLOGIZE when they make a mistake...ESPECIALLY managers. I eagerly await the phone call from the regional manager so I can report both of these HORRIBLE, unhelpful, lying employees. Go to MoneyTree instead. read more

Very rude workers and service!!! I walk in and there are 3 girls working behind the desk and I am the only customer in store. As I just stand there they giggle and talk. They don't say hello, or can I help you, nothing!!! When one does decide to help me she has a full on attitude. All three should have been FIRED if you ask me!!!! read more
