A cash loan, also commonly referred to as a payday loan, is a loan in which the borrower is granted money accompanied with high interest rates. The borrower is usually required to pay back the loan in full at the time of their next payday, or else face accumulating the high interest rates, and borrowing more money to pay the remaining balance.

An impound loan typically refers to a loan taken out by the borrower who needs the money to get their car out of impound. Usually, when a car is impounded it is taken to a tow yard where it is kept until the car owner can pay a hefty fine to get it out. Not everybody has hundreds of dollars to drop just to get access to their own car, so this can be a very frustrating as well as expensive experience.
