They have often been referred to in not-so-kind terms as “loan sharks” and “predatory lenders”. But fortunately or unfortunately they exist because there is a need for them. We are talking about payday loan lenders.

Critics including lawmakers, while fast to rebuke payday loan companies, have not offered alternatives. Direct lender payday loans are meant for people facing financial hardship who often cannot get a loan from banks and similar financial institutions.

As long as no alternatives are created, and there are none in the horizon so far, this industry will continue to thrive. That is, if it is not outlawed, something some quarters would love to see happen.

Contrary to popular belief, these lenders are not just for people with bad credit. Granted, people with bad credit make the bulk of their customers as there is no credit check involved. But people with good credit too do take out these loans to avoid credit checks which affect credit scores.

Another aspect that draws people to direct lender payday loans is approval rate and speed. Approval is often in minutes. Though requirements differ from company to company, virtually anyone with a job, social security number and a bank account can get approved.
