Frequently Asked Questions
How does a pawn loan work?
When you need cash, we accept personal items as collateral and lend you money for a specified period. We keep the item(s) safe for the duration of your loan. When the pawn loan is due, you can pay your loan in full and redeem your item(s); or you may choose to renew or extend the loan (if applicable).
You are not obligated to repay your pawn loan. If you do not repay the loan (or extend/renew), you will forfeit the items presented for pawn. If you forfeit your items there is no recourse and no negative reporting to any credit agencies.
What is pawn loan extension?
You may be eligible to extend the due date of your loan by paying outstanding pawn service charges. The availability of extensions and exact terms vary by state. See a store Team Member for more details.
What is pawn loan renewal?
You may be able to renew your pawn loan for an additional term by paying outstanding pawn service charges. A renewal is a new pawn loan. The availability of renewals varies by state. See a store Team Member for more details.
Is my item safe?
Your item will be kept safe and secure for the duration of your pawn loan.
Will you run a credit check if I require a pawn loan?

How do you determine the value of an item?
Each item is assessed by our experienced Team Members and our proprietary pawn loan management software. The value is based on a number of factors, including the condition of the item and market demand for the item.
How do you determine the value of jewelry?
Jewelry value will be assessed by our experienced Team Members and our proprietary pawn loan management software. The value is based on a number of factors, including the weight and authenticity.
