“Predatory loan centers target active-duty with tricks like special military loans… Military personnel are their best clients, because they know they’re paid every two weeks.”

In an article entitled Loan Sharks Take Bite Out of Navy Readiness, Francis Dong said that payday lenders target military personnel…

In the article written by MCSA Jonathan Husman, Dong also said:

• 75 percent of payday loan customers are unable to repay their loan in two weeks
• active-duty members are three times more likely to use a predatory loan center than a civilian

Francis Dong is associate director of the National Association of Securities Dealers.
