The Volunteer Cash Advance office on East Main Street, Livingston, Tennessee.

A real address, a real porch, a real phone that real people answer.

Volunteer Cash Advance, LLC is a Tennessee limited liability company built on a simple idea — that the people who lend you money should be people you could actually meet. Our office sits on East Main Street in Livingston, in a brick storefront with a glass door, in the kind of small town where everyone still says good morning.

We operate under the laws of the State of Delaware, originate loans in accordance with the Truth in Lending Act, the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, and the Fair Credit Reporting Act, and stay nowhere near the payday-loan business. Our APR ceiling is 35.99% inclusive of all fees, and we will not make a loan we do not believe you can pay back.

Lending should feel like a handshake, not a hostage negotiation.

We started Volunteer Cash Advance after watching too many neighbors get caught in the payday-loan spin cycle. We do not do payday. We do not do balloon payments. We do not bury fees in the fine print of the fine print.

We do offer fixed monthly payments, an APR you can actually compare, and a phone number that rings on the third floor of a real building on East Main Street.
