It wraps things up by shining a light on how the industry harms consumers & how more regulated products like traditional installment loans are better choices for Americans living paycheck-to-paycheck.

Here at Installmt, our mission is to reduce Americans’ reliance on predatory financial products like payday loans by helping better-regulated lenders extend credit to more borrowers. This post outlines just how predatory payday lending can be, and we are committed to helping consumers access better options.
