CORE PURPOSE
We provide financial solutions that
help ordinary people meet their needs
and pursue their dreams!
CORE VALUES
We are family.
We strive for excellence.
We bring honor to our team.
We have fun.
We act with a servant’s heart.
Mankind has never really been satisfied – we’ve always pushed the limits of knowledge, of achievement, of
prosperity. With an innate need to advance and evolve, we press toward the sleekest, fastest and most efficient
solution to any challenge – with leaders emerging as those who adapt most effectively.
Cash America is that kind of leader. In 23 years, we’ve taken an industry married to images of dark, seedy street
corners and turned it on its head. We’ve developed the anti-pawnshop – a neighborhood financial center that offers
low-cost alternatives to customers who use traditional banks and those who do not. We’ve also built a corporate
culture that helps our employees better serve our customers while advancing their own careers. The best part is
that we’ve done it all while offering shareholders a sound, stable investment with a progressively high return.
Now that’s advancement.
As you’ll see on our cover, currency itself has advanced right along with technology. From metal coins to banknotes
to electronic transfers, forms of money have evolved with our lifestyles. And Cash America has met and exceeded
customer needs through them all. In the next few pages, you’ll find more of the Cash America story – a story of
aggressively pursuing advances for our customers, employees and shareholders.
