Payday Loans

Payday loans appear to be featuring in all of the major press channels in recent times. This could be due to the fact that the mainstream lenders are really tightening their belt on loan application rates and subsequent loan criteria. But what does this mean for the typical UK loan applicant? There may be alternatives to ‘typical’ loan types, payday loans included. An example of this are 0% credit card deals – a classic way to utilise short term credit, and, as long as the balance is repaid at the due date it is a viable short term credit option.

Payday loans are another alternative that are now entrenched within the UK financial sector. Simply watching daytime TV will reveal a glut of payday lenders tempting the UK consumer with various offers of short term loans. Whilst some have argued that this could be deemed as predatory lending, the increasing numbers of lenders has driven competition into the sector and increased choice for the UK economy.

As payday loans are now considered a major player in the unsecured loans market, as with any financial agreement, care needs to be taken in deciding who to go with when looking for credit. Always compare and contrast the different lenders before accessing a payday loan and, above all, always make sure you are able to meet the cost of repaying the money that you have lent when the repayment is due.
