          CASH AMERICA ANNOUNCES THIRD QUARTER RESULTS EXCEED GUIDANCE
                              AND DECLARES DIVIDEND
*******************************************************************************

Fort Worth, Texas (October 23, 2003) - - Cash America International, Inc. (NYSE:
PWN) reported today that earnings per share related to third quarter 2003 net
income is up 69% compared to the same period in 2002. Net income for the third
quarter ended September 30, 2003, was $6,042,000 (22 cents per share) compared
to the third quarter 2002 net income of $3,182,000 (13 cents per share). The
earnings in the third quarter of 2003 included two months of operating results
from the recently completed acquisition of Cashland. The third quarter 2003
earnings per share of 22 cents exceeded the Company's publicly announced
guidance, issued upon completion of the Cashland transaction, of between 19
cents and 20 cents per share due to higher than projected levels of revenue
during the quarter.

Total revenue in the third quarter increased 19% to $107,148,000 in the 2003
period from $89,956,000 in 2002 on the strength of a 33% increase in combined
service charges and fees on pawn loans and cash advances. The Company's
consolidated pawn loan balance finished the quarter 11% above the same date last
year. In addition, the Company's profit on the disposition of merchandise in the
quarter increased 13% from the prior year as a result of both higher sales and
increased gross profit margin on goods sold. The aggregate effect of the
increase in service charges and fees combined with the higher profit on the
disposition of merchandise produced a $15.2 million, or 27%, increase in net
revenue for the three-month period.

Commenting on the results for the third quarter, Daniel R. Feehan, President and
Chief Executive Officer said, "Continued execution of our operating strategy in
the third quarter of 2003 led to a significant increase in revenue for our
business as we experienced increases in service charges on pawn loans and fees
from cash advances on higher earning asset balances. In addition, we generated a
higher contribution from the disposition of goods due to both higher sales
levels and gross profit margins. Adding further to the strong quarter was the
addition of Cashland which contributed to both net income and earnings per share
at a level consistent with our expectations."

Excluding Cashland's financial contribution for the two months during third the
quarter, Cash America would have posted a 44% increase in operating income to
$10.5 million on an 11% increase in total revenue which would have been $99.6
million for the period. Excluding the contribution of Cashland net earnings and
the effect of shares issued in conjunction with the acquisition, approximate
earnings per share for Cash America would have been 21 cents for the third
quarter of 2003, up 62%, compared to the same quarter in 2002.

For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2003, Cash America reported that
net income, excluding the gain on sale of assets, increased 56% to $17.3 million
(67 cents per share) from the 2002 income from continuing operations of $11.1
million (45 cents per share) for the same period. Total revenue for the first
nine months of 2003 was $307.1 million compared to $281.7 million in the prior
year, up 9%.

Cash America will conduct a conference call to discuss its third quarter
earnings on Thursday, October 23, 2003, at 3:45 PM CST. A live web cast of the
call will be available on the home page of the Company's corporate web site
(www.cashamerica.com). To listen to the live call, please go to the web site at

Additionally, the Company announced that the Board of Directors, at its
regularly scheduled quarterly meeting, declared a $0.0175 (1.75 cents) per share
cash dividend on common stock outstanding. The dividend will be paid to
shareholders of record on November 5, 2003, and will be paid at the close of
business on November 19, 2003.






Forward-Looking Information

As the Company enters the final quarter of fiscal 2003 it has higher levels of
both pawn loans and short-term cash advances than the same period of 2002. These
higher asset levels provide earnings momentum that management believes will
continue as long as this trend is sustained. At this time management believes
that the current economic environment and the higher prevailing market value of
gold will allow for the growth in pawn loan balances to satisfy higher customer
demand for pawn loans. Management believes these trends and increases in the
short-term cash advance balances in response to consumer demand for this
alternative product will result in sustained earnings growth for the Company for
the remainder of fiscal 2003 and for fiscal 2004. In addition, the Company will
have the results of a full three months of Cashland operations during the final
quarter of 2003 for the first time. Based on these assumptions, management has
revised and increased its forecasted earnings per share for fiscal 2003 to be
between $1.04 and $1.07 per share, excluding the impact of the sale of a
non-operating asset in the second quarter of 5 cents per share. This compares to
75 cents per share in earnings from continuing operations for fiscal 2002. The
management of the Company also establishes an initial expectation of earnings
per share for fiscal 2004 of between $1.24 and $1.34. In the near term,
management expects that earnings per share for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2003
to be between 38 cents and 40 cents per share compared to 30 cents per share in
the fourth quarter of 2002.
