PRESS RELEASE

H&T announces new online Pay Day Loans business
H&T, the UK's leading pawnbroking company, is pleased to announce that it has launched an online Pay Day Loans business.
www.handtonline.co.uk/pda
Online Pay Day Loans are low-value, short term loans; H&T's average loan is less than GBP170. So while interest rates and APR can appear high, the actual interest paid is relatively small.
Pay Day Loans are useful for cash emergencies where there is a real need for money - frequently to avoid consequences such as missing a day's work or unpaid DD fees. They are a real alternative to overdrafts, especially unauthorised loans.
For example, a GBP170 unauthorised overdraft from Lloyds would cost GBP82.48(1) for 30 days. By comparison, H&T's online Pay Day Loan costs just GBP25.50.
"We aim to bring a new level of service and value to this rapidly growing sector. By combining 10 years of over-the-counter Pay Day Loans experience with the very latest technology to make the right lending decisions we can offer a genuinely market-leading product. That's why we can charge less than half the average cost of our competitors," says Steve Fenerty, Commercial Director, H&T.
Price comparison for GBP100 loan over 30 days:

The advantage for customers
Credit cards and overdrafts are notoriously complicated and it is often difficult for customers to understand the different charges for using the service. For all H&T Pay Day Loans, the arrangement is clear and agreed up front. "That simplicity, transparency and above all certainty helps our customers to make sensible decisions to manage their finances, " explains Fenerty.
