they take you dl number and copy of it and info like that in-case you screw them, trust me the last thing they do is report to the feds, these places were started for people who could not get a bank account ex ill people in country, funny money, business people who don't want to report income through their ban, all these places care about is cashing your check and taking their cut, and check out their so called payday loans, and the % rate some are like over 500% , they were made for dirty money and they make a killing, you don't see many in upscale neighborhoods, most are in a little rougher part of town, hell they want 1 thing you to cash a check there or take the nice payday loan and they are not regulated by the feds that is why they can charge that much on loan % rate. you just have to cash some personal checks first so they get to know you and as long as you have money in personal account to cover the checks from where ever 3-5 times the amount of check depends what place and what type of check then they will cash it and take like 9 12 bucks per 100 something like that they very, but they are shady and were started in Chicago first big chain by yes ex mob person now makes a mint on prey who has to use their stores, drug dealers , ill immigrants, people hiding money. you have no worries with any info they want because they just want their fee from you. hell if up to feds they would shut them down, they are right up their with pawn shops so trust me you are very safe, last thing they want is to lose someone who will pay a% to cash a check through them. They are not like a bbb type business in the community. they prey on the needy and lower income type of people and immigrants who should not be here, so do you think they are going to report you to feds when you are how they make their money, check out rates on payday loans, i see so many hard up people week in and out coming in to pay the interest on their loan because can't pay loan off and tops you will get it 1000 bucks , most loans are like 250, it is sad but they make a shit load of money because the people who use them have no other means.
Quit worrying about them and what info they ask for it is only in-case you fuk them over , hell they are the thieves of the under ground financial world big time licenses to steal by these loans and rates to cash checks, fl and ca is loaded with them same as az and tx, anywhere you have ill. workers you will see payday and check stores in lower class neighborhoods where people have to float checks and cash to make bills meet or for the people that need help the most and they will cash or make a loan on pay check but the people will pay through the nose if they don't pay it off in 2 weeks, it is a under ground backed business and anyone who says i am full of bs about who started them , who really owns most of them and why they were started, you need to learn about the business. hell i would love to own one, but it is like a strip club you just don't go in and open one with out a price to pay down the line to someone.
