Possible Loan
Possible Loan is an installment loan, not a fee-free cash advance. You can borrow up to $500 in most states, repaid in four installments over about eight weeks. Possible charges a real finance fee that shows up as a triple-digit APR on its own site, and it reports your payments to credit bureaus.

Pros & cons
Pros
- Every on-time payment is reported to credit bureaus, so a Possible Loan can build credit history. Most no-credit-check cash advances never touch your credit file at all.
- There is no FICO check to apply. Possible reviews your bank account activity and income pattern instead.
- You repay in four fixed installments over about eight weeks, timed near your paydays. That is not one lump sum due on your next payday.
- You can push a payment date back up to 29 days with no rescheduling fee.
- Possible charges no late fees and no hidden charges beyond the disclosed finance fee.
- You can get your money in seconds in most states.
Cons
- This is not a free cash advance. Possible discloses an APR between 136.60% and 248.67% on its own site, depending on your state.
- Delaware, Missouri and Texas cost the most. Possible publishes a 248.67% APR there on a $500 to $600 loan.
- Possible Loan is available in 34 states, direct from Possible in AK, CA, HI, ID, UT and WA, and through Coastal Community Bank in the rest. If you live elsewhere, you cannot apply.
- Possible calls its charge a fee, not interest. Its own payment schedule still shows a triple-digit APR.
- Possible reports your payments to credit bureaus, including if you pay late. A late payment can hurt your score instead of helping it.
- Possible advertises free instant delivery, but its own fine print says a fee may apply in some states. It does not say which states or how much.
