Use the Downtown branch number and plan around Sunday closure

It lists payday loans and check cashing and publishes Sunday closure. Use the individual branch contact for the service you need, and confirm payment arrangements before a weekend rather than assuming a closed office changes your contract’s due date.

The Check Cashing Place Store #4

Address

945 5th Ave, San Diego, CA 92101

Branch phone

(619) 239-6151

Prepare the right request

I need to repay an existing agreement

Check the creditor, due date and accepted payment channel on your contract. Ask the branch about the deadline and receipt process before the weekend; this directory cannot move a due date.

I found another phone for the same building

The branch number is (619) 239-6151. A corporate number in the shared footer is a different contact even though both use 945 Fifth Avenue. Start with the branch for local-service questions. [A04]

I want a new payday loan

Explain the net amount you need and check the repayment budget first. The availability of a check-cashing counter does not establish your loan eligibility, documents or approval. [A04]

Keep Store 4 separate from the shared corporate contact

The same website’s corporate footer uses the building address with another number. That does not make the two contacts interchangeable for account service. A current branch manager’s name was not established; ask the local team which person handles your transaction. Holiday exceptions require direct confirmation. [A04]

Do not postpone a payment simply because the office is closed

If a repayment date falls near the weekend, ask in advance which channel applies and when a payment must be received. Do not assume that an online submission posts immediately or that a Sunday closure automatically moves an obligation to Monday. Follow the agreement and any applicable rule or confirmed arrangement; keep its terms and your payment confirmation in writing.

A smaller loan can still exceed the next budget

Hypothetical next-pay-cycle budget Amount
Income before the due date $1,100
Rent $680
Other essentials $130
Existing payments $75
Cash reserve $25
Available for a proposed repayment $190
Shortfall against $300 repayment $110
Shortfall against $200 repayment $10

At California’s maximum payday fee, a $300 check yields $255 cash; a $200 check yields $170. Neither $300 nor $200 repayment fits the $190 available in this illustration. This is not a branch quote or a recommendation to borrow the smaller amount. Use your actual essentials, dates and written charges. [L08]

Read the California transaction figures correctly

DFPI explains the $300 payday-check ceiling, a maximum 15% fee measured against the check and a maximum 31-day term. The amount you receive and the amount you must repay are different. A $200 face amount with a $30 charge leaves $170; the $30 is already part of the $200 due, not another charge to add at repayment. Actual offers can differ within the applicable framework. [L08]

Verify the product and creditor before a new request

Ask what identification, income and account evidence this lender requires and when any credit review occurs. Match the contracting legal name to the appropriate DFPI payday-lender licensing route; no current individual license has been independently verified for this profile. Do not use generic check-cashing advertising to infer that a credit request needs no checks or documents. [A04] [L08]

Keep a clear trail for payments or a declined request

For an existing loan, save the agreement, receipt, confirmation date and the name or team reference for any arrangement. If the creditor declines a new request or the budget does not fit, do not treat the trip as a reason to accept another larger obligation. Explore a confirmed bill arrangement or another suitable alternative. This page neither accesses your account nor asks you to pay or submit documents to Bottom Dollar.

Questions before continuing

What number belongs to the Downtown store?

The individual branch page publishes (619) 239-6151 for Store #4 at 945 5th Avenue. [A04]

Can I visit the store on Sunday?

The branch page publishes Sunday as closed. Confirm exceptional arrangements directly, and do not infer a changed repayment deadline. [A04]

Does the budget example suggest borrowing $170?

No. Its assumed $200 repayment still exceeds available money by $10. It illustrates why reducing the amount does not always resolve affordability.
