Company description
This campaign aims to safeguard New York residents from the harmful practices of payday lenders by emphasizing the state's legal ban on payday loans. Payday loans are short-term, high-interest loans that can quickly lead to overwhelming debt. In New York, payday loans are illegal under the New York Banking Law, which prevents lenders from charging excessive interest rates that can trap borrowers in a cycle of debt. Instead, the campaign encourages residents to explore safer financial options, such as personal loans from reputable, licensed financial institutions or credit unions. By raising awareness about the risks of payday loans and offering responsible alternatives, this campaign strives to empower individuals with the knowledge to make informed financial decisions and avoid exploitative lending practices.
