Payday Lending: A Niche Business

This is a guest post from regular reader Melissa… 

It may seem at times payday loans are sold as a cure-all for everyone. However, these loans are far from a cure-all and are a consumer-lending product that is targeted for a market that has very few other alternatives. The market is for people with little or no credit history, no other sources of lending, and few assets. Most bankers will have a tough time approving lending for people in this category and so payday loans offer people who have this background a chance to obtain short-term loans that are paid back on their next paycheck cycle.

The interest rates on these loans are typically higher than other sources of lending, like credit cards or installment loans. However, they are also higher risk loans for the lender since no credit check is performed. This allows people who have suffered a foreclosure or a bankruptcy to still have options to borrow, even though the rates are higher. If they show a willingness to repay these loans on time, it can be an excellent way to rebuild their credit histories while providing needed funds in the short-term. Without this industry, people who don’t qualify for conventional sources of credit would not have any other way to meet short-term losses in income.
