What is AU Quick Cash?
When life happens, First Californian (a division of American United) is here to help. This new personal loan product provides money into your bank account in just minutes… anytime, anywhere. The application process is 100% completed online and available 24/7. Loan amounts from $200 to $2,000 are offered with repayment terms up to 12 months. There is no credit check required for this specific loan because approval is based on your member relationship history with us.
What should it be used for?
Unexpected emergencies that require cash immediately. Especially for situations that happen outside of regular business hours, over the weekend, or even while travelling away from home. Meant as a last resort, this loan is here to help you for any reason, when you are out of time and options.
In addition to emergencies, AU Quick Cash should be considered as an alternative to higher rate, predatory lending payday loans. As a member of First Californian, you have established a financial relationship with us, one that we are able to use for non-credit based approval on this specific type of personal loan. You work hard, and we are here to help you find ways to end the negative cycle of higher rate payday loans.
What to consider before applying?
If you have enough time to meet with us during regular business hours, please do so before applying online for this AU Quick Cash loan. First Californian offers a variety of personal loan products and we’d be delighted to have the opportunity to understand your situation and provide the best personal loan option for you.
