Some members using Apple devices have reported being kicked out of the app when retrieving the security code sent to their email during the PD Quick Cash Loan application process. This happens when members leave the app to check their email for the code, which causes the app to restart. This issue doesn’t seem to affect Android devices.

Yes, you can apply through the link on the website, but you will need your account number and zip code for verification. If you don’t know your account number, we recommend using the online portal or the MyPDCU app instead to avoid being locked out.
Simply log into your account via online portal or the MyPDCU app and navigate to the loan application section. This process will not ask for your account number and zip code since you're already verified through your login.
If you are locked out, the system will prevent you from trying again for 24 hours. To avoid this, it’s best to apply through your online or mobile banking, where no additional verification is needed.
If you don't know your account number, we recommend applying for the PD Quick Cash Loan through your online portal or the MyPDCU app. Once logged in, you will skip the verification step because you’ve already used two-factor authentication to access your account.

PD Quick Cash applications can only be submitted online. To protect your personal information and meet our security standards, phone applications are not permitted. This ensures your privacy and guarantees that all required information is accurately captured.
If you're having trouble receiving the validation code, it may be due to your device’s operating system.

If you’re still not receiving the code, try restarting your device and submitting the request again.
Yes. PD Quick Cash loans are only available for People Driven Credit Union members. Specifically, one must be a member in good standing, with direct deposit set up for at least six months. Member will be defaulted to pay their monthly payments as auto-payments from their account.

The origination fee for a PD Quick Cash loan is a one-time cost for convenience and speed. It allows you to secure funds instantly without a traditional credit check. This is particularly beneficial when you need urgent access to funds without the usual wait times or paperwork involved in standard loan processing. It's designed to be a fast, straightforward solution for immediate financial needs.

A one-time $35 processing fee applies, regardless of loan amount.

Using your credit card is a common choice for emergencies. However, the PD Quick Cash offers a structured repayment plan that could potentially have lower interest costs compared to high credit card interest rates, especially if the balance isn't paid off immediately. Additionally, this loan provides a quick, predictable, and fixed repayment plan that helps manage your budget without the variable costs associated with credit card interest.
No. One of the benefits of PD Quick Cash is that it doesn’t involve a traditional credit check, which means it doesn't directly impact your credit score. This can be a great option if you're concerned about maintaining your current credit score while still needing access to emergency funds. Although we do not run credit checks for the PD Quick Cash loan application, we do report payment history to the bureaus in hopes of helping our members repair or begin building credit with on-time payments.
