When Check Into Cash Locations Are Open and What to Expect
Check Into Cash store hours vary by location, but most branches open between 8 a.m. and 9 a.m. and close between 5 p.m. and 7 p.m. on weekdays
Check Into Cash is a chain of physical storefronts that offer payday loans, cash advances, and check cashing services. Because each location is independently operated, hours differ by branch. Some stores open as early as 8 a.m., while others don't unlock until 9 a.m. Closing times range from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. on Monday through Friday. Weekend hours are shorter — most locations that are open on Saturday operate from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. or 2 p.m., and many do not open on Sunday at all.
The fastest way to find your nearest store's exact hours is to visit the Check Into Cash website and use their location finder tool, or call the branch directly. Hours can change seasonally or without notice, so calling ahead before making a trip saves time, especially if you need to visit on a weekend or outside standard business hours.

How to find your local Check Into Cash location and hours
The Check Into Cash website has a store locator at the top of their homepage. Enter your city, state, or ZIP code, and the tool will display all branches within a set distance, along with their street address, phone number, and posted hours. The locator also shows which services each location offers — not all branches provide the same range of products.
If the website locator shows hours that seem outdated or you want to confirm before traveling, call the store directly. Staff can tell you whether the branch is open that day, whether they have the service you need in stock, and how long the transaction typically takes. This is especially useful if you are planning to visit during a holiday week or on a day when hours might shift.
Weekday hours and what to expect during peak times
Most Check Into Cash locations operate on a standard weekday schedule: opening between 8 a.m. and 9 a.m. and closing between 5 p.m. and 7 p.m. The busiest times are typically lunch hours (11 a.m. to 1 p.m.) and late afternoon (4 p.m. to closing), when people stop by after work or during their break. If you want to avoid a wait, arriving in the early morning or mid-afternoon often means shorter lines.
The time it takes to complete a transaction depends on the service. Cashing a check usually takes 5 to 10 minutes if you have your ID and the check is in order. A payday loan or cash advance can take 15 to 30 minutes because the staff must verify your income, check your bank account, and process the loan agreement. Bringing all required documents — your ID, proof of income, and a blank check from your account — speeds up the process.
Weekend and holiday hours
Saturday hours are limited compared to weekdays. Most Check Into Cash locations that open on Saturday do so from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. or 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Some branches in high-traffic areas may stay open until 3 p.m. or 4 p.m., but this is less common. Very few locations are open on Sunday, and those that are typically operate only from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Holiday schedules vary. Many locations close on major holidays like Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's Day, though some may have reduced hours instead. If you need a service on or near a holiday, check the website or call ahead — holiday closures are often posted on the location finder, but it is worth confirming directly with the branch.
What documents to bring to speed up your visit
Bringing the right documents the first time cuts your time in the store significantly. For check cashing, you need a valid government-issued photo ID (driver's license, passport, or state ID) and the check itself. For a payday loan or cash advance, you also need proof of income — a recent pay stub, tax return, or bank statement showing regular deposits — and a blank check from your checking account so the lender can set up repayment.
Some locations may ask for additional information depending on your situation, such as proof of residence or a second form of ID. Calling the branch before you visit and asking what they need for your specific transaction prevents a wasted trip. If you are a first-time customer, the process takes longer because the staff must create your account and verify all your information.
Online and mobile alternatives if store hours don't work for you
Check Into Cash also offers online payday loans and cash advances through their website and mobile app. The online process can be started at any time, day or night, and does not require you to visit a physical location. You submit your information, receive a decision, and if approved, the funds are deposited into your bank account — usually within one business day, though timing depends on your bank and when you submit the request.
The online option is useful if store hours conflict with your schedule or if no location is convenient to you. However, not all services are available online — check cashing, for example, typically requires an in-person visit because the store must verify the check and handle the physical document. The Check Into Cash website clearly states which services can be completed online and which require a store visit.
What to do if your local store is closed
If you need a service and your nearest Check Into Cash location is closed, you have a few options. First, check whether another branch nearby has different hours — some locations in different parts of town may open earlier or stay open later. The location finder shows all branches in your area with their individual hours.
Second, if the service you need is available online, you can start the process through the website or app without waiting for a store to open. Third, if you need check cashing and cannot reach a Check Into Cash location, banks, credit unions, and some retail stores (like Walmart and grocery chains) also cash checks, though they may charge a fee or require you to have an account with them.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are Check Into Cash locations open on Sundays?
Most Check Into Cash locations are closed on Sunday. A small number of branches in major cities may open from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., but this is uncommon. Check the location finder on the Check Into Cash website or call your nearest branch to confirm whether it is open on Sunday.
What is the earliest a Check Into Cash store opens?
Most locations open at 8 a.m. or 9 a.m. on weekdays. A few branches in high-traffic areas may open at 7:30 a.m., but 8 a.m. to 9 a.m. is standard. Call your local store to confirm its opening time if you need to visit early in the morning.
How long does a payday loan take in the store?
A payday loan or cash advance typically takes 15 to 30 minutes from start to finish, assuming you have all required documents and are not a first-time customer. Check cashing is faster — usually 5 to 10 minutes. Busy times may add to the wait, so arriving during off-peak hours (early morning or mid-afternoon) can reduce your total time in the store.
Can I do a payday loan online instead of visiting the store?
Yes. Check Into Cash offers payday loans and cash advances through their website and mobile app. You can start the process anytime, and funds are usually deposited within one business day if approved. However, check cashing and some other services still require an in-person visit.
What happens if I need cash on a holiday when the store is closed?
If you need a payday loan or cash advance on a holiday, you can start the process online through the Check Into Cash website or app. For check cashing, you will need to wait until the store reopens or use another check-cashing service like a bank, credit union, or retail location that may have different holiday hours.
