WARNING TO CONSUMERS (3/1/12) - The Utah Department of Financial Institutions has recently learned the following:

  • An internet lender using the name “Check Cash Advance” has been offering deferred deposit loans over the internet.  The internet lender “Check Cash Advance” is not registered with the Department.

  • Lenders who are not registered with the Department are not authorized to make loans to Utah residents.

  • Check Cash Advance Inc. of Murray, Utah is registered with the Department as a deferred deposit lender.  This company provides loans to local residents and does not make loans over the internet.  This lender is not affiliated with the unregistered internet lender.

  • Individuals who disclose personal financial information to an entity over the internet without first verifying that the entity is authorized to do business in the state where the borrower resides, are doing so at their own risk.
