How do Payday Loans compare with bank charges

Payday loans have come under a lot of criticism for their charges ever since they were first introduced in the UK in the year 2006.  This is because although the loans are for relatively small amounts between £50 and £1000, the rate of interest or APR charged are anything between 1737% and 5000%.  However, what is not as widely publicised is that in some instances, the rate of interest or APR charged by some banks is actually higher than those incurred using a payday loan.

Banks have a number of financial products available for their customers, ranging from personal loans, overdrafts, credit cards to debit cards.  All these methods are available for  their customers and it is safe to say that the rate of APR charged on each of these depends on how good the customer’s credit check is. The APR on a typical personal loan is around 8% and the APR on a debit or a credit card is around 17%, therefore, both of these options are less expensive than a payday loan.

3 ways to help your kids build credit


There are few things that can determine the future of someone’s life than credit. Credit is a measure of financial dependability and stability, and without credit, many people may find living in modern age quite difficult. It would be great if everyone was so financially well-off that they did not need credit to begin with, but that is not the reality we live in today. Credit is almost a necessity in life. Without credit, we would have a difficult time buying a car or a house, or any other major financial investment. 

It would also be difficult to even rent a car or an apartment or get loan of any kind. All of the things mentioned in the last sentence are things that most people need sometime in their life. The problem is that some people were raised unaware of the consequences a bad credit can have on a person. The last thing parents would want to leave their kids with, is a poor credit rating. It is important, therefore, to instil credit and financial responsibility in children at a younger age, so that they are not rattled when it comes to strike out on their own.
