Despite growing pressure for more regulations, big banks are getting into payday loan type of products to steal a chunk of the $35 billion dollar a year industry.  Banks like Wells Fargo and US Bankcorp are throwing their hats into the ring in hopes of generating additional revenue and will be marketing their triple digit APR products to their own checking account customers.

While surfing the web today I came across an interesting cartoon showing other short term services like video rentals, taxi cabs, and even hotel rooms quoting their prices with an annual percentage rate, or APR. The cartoon was quite funny as it showed what a person would pay for a service like movie rental if the company quoted the price based on what it would cost the person annually regardless if they used it that long or not.  The cartoon was intending to show how absurd it would be to use such a calculation, but yet it’s done everyday for short term loans.

Cash advance loans, or sometimes referred to as payday loans, are short term loans that are usually paid back within a couple of weeks and have one or two payments only.  These loans can be helpful for people that need cash in a hurry and either can’t or don’t want to go through traditional loan methods, where credit is checked, and installment payments are made.  Typically, short term loans are used for emergency situations or bills that come up last minute and can break one’s budget.  There isn’t any interest on these loans, rather a fee, and the fee is usually capped at $15 per $100 borrowed in most states.
