Payday loans are quite possibly the most heatedly debated financial service in existence today, unless we count certain very specific financial services that are too esoteric for the average person. However, payday loans are something pretty much everyone is aware of and they are also something that everyone has an opinion on, which is quite understandable when you consider how specific they are.

And in the end, if someone needs a quick loan, they will get it, one way or another. And isn’t it better that they borrow money from a regulated business than from shady characters with even higher interest rates.
