Emergencies Require Emergency Funds
Unfortunately, emergencies are a part of life and when they happen you often need to secure finance quickly.
In a financial emergency, people are less likely to shop around and more likely to take the first emergency loan they’re approved for. This may lead to them paying high interest rates and fees.
Payday loans, or loans from High Cost Lenders can cause more problems than they solve. They are not the solution! There is a better option.
