How pawning works
Pawning, also known as pawnbroking, is a financial service that allows individuals to secure a loan by using their valuable items as collateral.
The process is straightforward: individuals bring their pre-loved items and valuables to a licensed pawnbroker like Maxi-Cash. Licensed pawnbrokers then assess the item’s value, offer loans based on it, and store the item securely.
During the loan term, borrowers have the option to make partial payments or repay the loan in full, including the interest accrued, at any time. If the borrower fails to redeem the collateral-based loan within the agreed-upon timeframe, the pawnbroker has the right to sell the item to recover the loan amount.
Maxi-Cash is a licensed pawn shop in Singapore offering flexible terms and low-interest rates. We provide our customers with a safe and reliable way to secure instant cash using valuable items as collateral. Thanks to our simple and straightforward pawning process, our customers can get cash quickly and conveniently without the hassle of a bank loan – both at our individual stores and online.

Understanding the Value of Your Items
Before pawning or selling your valuable items with Maxi-Cash, it is important to have a clear understanding of their worth. Take into consideration factors such as the condition, brand, rarity, and market demand for your item. Doing research or seeking professional appraisal can also help you accurately determine its value.
By knowing the worth of your item, you can negotiate better deals at our pawn shops and ensure that you are getting a fair price or loan amount. Remember to bring any documentation or certificates that can provide proof of the item’s authenticity or value.
Gold
From 24 karat (999 gold), the epitome of purity, to 22 karat (916 gold), a testament to craftsmanship – Maxi-Cash welcomes a spectrum of gold items to be pawned at our pawn shops across Singapore. Our seasoned valuers, with an eye for detail, will examine the gold’s purity, weight, and overall aura, to ensure our patrons get a loan befitting their prized possession’s worth. Once an agreement is reached, the gold rests securely with us.
Jewellery
When it comes to pawning jewellery with Maxi-Cash, the process typically involves two main steps: evaluation and appraisal. First, our pawnbroker will carefully assess the value of the jewellery based on factors such as the metal type (gold, platinum, etc.), the quality of the gemstones, any engraving or branding, and the overall condition of the piece. This evaluation helps determine the loan amount that can be offered.
Maxi-Cash accepts a wide variety of jewellery types into our pawn shop, including gold earrings, gold necklaces, gold bracelets, and gold rings. It is best to visit your local Maxi-Cash and speak to our consultants in-person for more information on jewellery appraisal and the pawning process.
Other Valuables
Apart from gold, gold jewellery, and gemstone jewellery, Maxi-Cash accepts pre-loved luxury bags and pre-loved luxury watches for pawning at our shops.
Whether it’s a cherished Chanel passed down through the generations or a trendy Louis Vuitton bought on a whim, we understand the stories and the value behind your pre-loved treasures. With the ever-growing demand in the pre-owned luxury market, these handbags are more than just fashion statements; they’re assets. Our seasoned team, well-versed in the realms of haute couture, meticulously assess each bag, weighing brand prestige, timeless condition, and that unique charm only a rare piece can boast.
