How a Pawn Loan Works

A pawn loan is one of the simplest ways to get cash fast. You bring in something of value, we hold it as collateral, and you walk out with money in hand. When you pay back your loan, your item comes right back to you.

Our loans run for 120 days, and you only pay interest for the time you actually use the loan, so paying it off early saves you money. All we need from you is a valid photo ID.

  1. Bring your item and a valid photo ID to 1234 19th Street.

  2. We evaluate it and make you an offer.

  3. Take the cash. We hold your item safely as collateral.

  4. Pay back the loan and get your item back.

No Credit Check, No Credit Worries

Unlike a bank, we don’t check your credit, and a pawn loan never hurts it. If you decide not to pick up your item, there are no collection calls and no marks on your record. The item simply goes up for sale in our store. Still, we want you to come back for your things, and most people do: about 90 percent of our customers return to redeem what they pawned.

What We Lend On

We lend on just about anything of value:

  • Jewelry and gold: gold and platinum jewelry, even broken or scrap pieces

  • Coins and bullion

  • Tools: power tools, hand tools, and equipment

  • Musical instruments

  • Electronics: phones, laptops, game consoles

  • Binoculars, telescopes, and much more

Here for People Just Like You

When you’re back on your feet, you can come in and take your item home.
