Our Mission

We believe everyone deserves access to fair financial information. Too many people fall into the payday loan debt cycle because they didn't know better alternatives existed.

AdvanceAmericaFi was founded in 2020 to provide unbiased, comprehensive reviews of lending products so consumers can make informed decisions. We compare lenders like EarnIn (0% APR) to traditional payday lenders like Advance America (143-688% APR) so you can see the real costs.
