You can get $25 from a Canadian cash advance app, and you do not need a credit check to do it. Most apps will not go that low. Bree will, because its smallest advance is $15. Nyble starts at $30. Wagepay starts at $100.

PockBox earns a commission when you sign up through the buttons marked Partner link, and if a lender matches you through the loan form on this page. It costs you nothing extra. How we pick

The short answer

Bree is the app that can actually send $25. Standard delivery is $0 and takes about 3 business days. Express delivery is $2.99 to $45.99 if you need it sooner, and the app shows the fee before you confirm. If $30 is close enough, Nyble starts there and costs $0 on the free plan.
