Same day

Step 3

Sign and get funded

Review the amount, cost and payment schedule, sign electronically, and funds are sent to your account.

As soon as the same day

Most of Florida is on Eastern time, the same hours our team works (9 a.m. to 6 p.m. ET, Monday to Friday). Apply in the morning and you have the whole business day for a decision and signing. Files signed late in the day, on weekends or on bank holidays are funded the next business day. The 4-hour time is the fastest on record, not the typical time.
