fast cash

Speedy liquid funds

Fast cash is money obtained quickly, usually through loans, pawn shops, or other sources that provide immediate funds with minimal paperwork.

The phrase appears constantly in advertising for payday lenders and check-cashing services: Need fast cash? We can help.

It often implies high interest rates or unfavorable terms—the speed comes at a cost.
