With traditional bank loans, your credit history serves as your collateral and determines how much money you can get from a loan. But it’s incredibly easy to have bad credit, or even no credit at all. At TitleMax, we use the title to your car as your collateral in most states, rather than your credit history. So, when you give us your car title, we give you cash. For auto title loan or pawn services, a vehicle and the vehicle’s title are required to be approved for a loan/pawn. Then, once you repay the loan/pawn, you get your car title back. A car title loan is a simple way to get the cash you need, but there are plenty other ways to make money, too.
