We all need extra cash from time to time! Several apps are marketing themselves as a zero interest, low risk way to obtain a small loan. However, not all cash advance apps are created equal. Watch out for hidden fees and sneaky membership tolls. If you are going to use a cash advance app, be sure you research its standing with the BBB so that you understand the terms of the loan.
