“There is a huge demand for small-dollar, unsecured loans, but there are far too few low-cost options available for consumers.”
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) chairman Sheila C. Bair believes banks should offer low cost alternatives to payday loans…
According to draft guidelines issued by FDIC, there is a demand for affordable small-dollar loans. Consumers turn to payday loans mainly because payday lenders:
- are accessible
- provide quick loans
FDIC believes banks can provide the same service at a lower cost. Bair believes FDIC should encourage banks to explore such alternatives:
“It is our obligation as a regulator to encourage those we regulate to create products that are beneficial to both the banks and their customers.”
Sheila C. Bair was sworn in as the 19th Chairman of FDIC in June, 2006, for a five-year term.
