History

[edit]
Check Into Cash store

Jones founded Check Into Cash in 1993. He has been referred to as "the father of the payday lending industry" for creating the first national payday lending chain.[15][16] In 1973, at age 20, he left college, where he had been pursuing a business degree, to help stabilize the family’s business, the Credit Bureau of Cleveland (TN). He purchased the reporting and debt collection business in 1977 and built it into one of the largest credit bureau databases in Tennessee.[17] He sold the credit reporting side of the business to Equifax in 1988, retaining the name and collection agency division. He then built the company to be the largest in the state and sold it in 1998.[17]

Check Into Cash has grown to become one of the largest payday loan companies in the United States.[16]

In 2012, Check Into Cash acquired Cash and Cheque Express, a consumer financial services chain in the United Kingdom.[18] In 2013, they acquired Great American Pawn and Title and Quick loans, both based in Georgia, plus Great American Cash Advance and Nations Quick Cash Title Pawn, which operate in Mississippi, Alabama, and Tennessee.[19] Check Into Cash also acquired Title First Title Pawn, which is based in Georgia.[20]

In 2021, Check Into Cash was acquired by CCF Holdings, LLC or Community Choice Financial Family of Brands.[21]

The company has been criticized for its exorbitant interest rates.[22][23]

Sister Companies

[edit]

Check into Cash was acquired in 2021 by CCF Holdings, LLC (CCFI). Post acquisition, Check Into Cash has multiple sister companies, including TitleMax, Speedy Cash, California Check Cashing Stores, easymoney, and more. CCFI operates more than 1,500 locations across the United States.[24]
