Our certified experts evaluate gold items based on karat value and current market prices. We provide instant cash offers for 10K-24K gold jewelry and bullion, with price matching available if competitors offer better rates.

We sell certified diamonds and custom jewelry at significant discounts compared to traditional retailers. Our specialists explain the 4Cs (cut, clarity, color, carat) to help customers make informed purchases with lifetime value guarantees.

Our inventory includes pre-owned TVs, computers, gaming systems, and audio equipment. All items undergo quality checks before resale, offering customers affordable technology solutions with immediate availability.
Questions
What identification do I need for check cashing?
Valid government-issued photo ID and proof of check endorsement are required for all check cashing transactions.
How are gold prices determined?
Gold values are calculated based on current market rates, karat purity, and item weight using our certified scale measurements.
Can I negotiate pawn loan terms?
While standard fees apply, our staff works with clients to find mutually beneficial loan solutions when possible.
Do you buy broken electronics?
We evaluate all electronics for functionality but may offer lower rates for damaged or non-working devices.
What happens if I default on a loan?
Defaulted collateral loans result in item forfeiture, but we make multiple payment reminders before reaching this stage.
Are purchases tax-exempt?
All sales are subject to applicable Rhode Island sales tax, with no tax exemptions available for purchased items.

1st time at a pawn shop ever. Chris took great care & time with me, & I was there for sometime. He was kind, professional & gave great suggestions on how I could sell other items that they were not interested in. I was in the shop for 2 hours & all the associcates were super kind & professional to every single person that came in. I will be back again! Better to get some money for things that are just taking up real estate in your closet!

I've been dealing fast cash in Pawtucket ever since they opened. I helped them open by telling everybody I know about them instead of the other pawn shops. The people at fast Cash are very respectful and resilient and will help you anyway they can now that's good stuff

I took several gold jewelry pieces to this business with the intention of selling them and with it being my first experience going to a pawn shop I really didn't know what to expect. My experience was extremely positive! I would highly recommend this business to anyone. The customer service I received was exceptional. Thank you to Mark and Chris who are extremely professional. They took the time to answer all of my questions.
They're patient and are thorough in explaining everything and I can't say enough how happy I am to have gone to this business to sell the gold I just didn't have use for anymore. Again, I would highly recommend Fashcash Pawn to anyone looking to sell jewelry or other items.

This was my first experience pawning anything anywhere and I have to say that the people at fast Cash pawn and check cashing we're not only professional but they acted like they were my friend. They explained everything about the items that I was pulling and why they were worth what they were worth. They tested everything I brought in two televisions and three laptops and I was quite satisfied that I was being taken care of fairly.
I want to give a special attaboy to a man named Rob. He spent an hour or so with me I made the whole experience enjoyable as opposed to painful. if I have the need the pawn anything again I will go right to their store and do business with him with a smile on my face. I recommend anybody looking to pawn something or to buy it a nice item at a reasonable price go to fast Cash pawn and check cashing and they will have a similar experience.

I recently purchase a Hummer H3 from this pawnshop. Bryan went over everything I needed to know about the vehicle, test drive was smooth, and he was knowledgeable. I finished my deal with Mark, great guy took care of the paperwork. Ran into a few hiccups at the DMV but Mark was ready and available to help me out to make sure everything was correct. Made sure I was taken care for the inconvenience. Overall I would definitely do business here again! I looked forward to stopping in to the shop and buying some items!

They're super helpful at this store but today was extra special. I went there during a snowstorm, while they were locking up and they let me in even with all the lights out to retrieve my Nintendo switch that my son has been waiting so long for. They made my whole weekend! I was so excited they took that extra time to allow me to come in. Always so hopefully there!

This is the best place to get a loan! I had some trouble paying the interest on a loan that I took out with them a few times and every time they were more than willing to extend the date of payment- no problems or even questions asked! The associates were always more than helpful and friendly (even when I was late on a payment!). I have talked to two of the owners on different occasions when I either called or visited the store- I had dealt directly with them, which made me feel extremely confident.
They send me a reminder a month before a payment is due- which Ive found most pawn broakers DO NOT. Also, you have four months from when you take out the loan to when its due- or you can pay the interest and extend the life of the loan for another four months. The store itself is clean and well stocked will very nice merchandise. I would give Fast Cash a higher rating than 5 stars if that was possible- and this would be the ONLY pawn shop I would recommend!

Best experience ever! I was sent to Scott, one of the owners, to discuss designing an engagement and wedding ring set. He was knowledgeable, flexible and very helpful in finalizing the design. He found the perfect diamonds to make this custom piece and the price was unbelievable. The cost of both rings was less than I had found for just the cost of the main diamond at any of the jewelry stores where I had shopped.
The ring was delivered earlier than promised and more beautiful than I had anticipated. I would recommend this store for any custom jewelry purchase you need. I have never experienced as good service anywhere else.

I needed a new TV for football season. The sales guy showed me all of their options and took the time to explain the differences between each. I got a really good deal on a TV that is like new. These guys even took the time to explain how to set up the video and audio. All set up for the first big game and really impressed my friends. Will definitely be coming back here!
