Title Loans Go Mobile
Apr 28, 2011 PayDay Loans
Consumers nowadays in most cases are able to drive just a few miles in any metropolitan area, in almost every state, and see a Title Pawn company on every corner.
The popularity largely fueled by a weak economy has brought about a huge influx of these title company’s. Over the past few years, and the concept has skyrocketed into a highly competitive multi billion-dollar industry.
Now though, many of these lenders are starting to rely on mobile technologies enabling them to bring the entire title loan lending process direct to the consumer’s front door.
Their have been a few hurdles particularly in some states where the process is a bit more regulated making it more difficult for many of lenders to make a transaction outside of their brick and mortar location.
Though as with all business’s, owners and entrepreneurs dig deep to get around the loopholes, and bring to their goods and services direct to the consumer and beat out their competitors.
Nowadays, these lenders are turning to document management technology, mobile wireless computing, cell phone video, and picture capabilities. Some title loan company’s have even invested in some high end mobile fingerprint scanning technology giving them the ability to scan in a title loan borrowers fingerprint which is required in some states as part of completing a title loan transaction.
Many of these company’s are turning to the concept of mobile offices one to lower the overhead associated with having multiple staffed offices located all over a metropolitan area, as well as utilizing the concept as a way to better service their customers.
The real expense nowadays for the mobile title loan companies is rising fuel costs. But as usual, entrepreneurs will adapt. Many of the these companies are turning to small electric vehicles, or even hybrid vehicles set up with all the required technology required to complete a smooth on site transaction, thus substantially reducing the footprint on the environment, as well as making a mobile office fast inexpensive, and efficient.
This entire concept appears to be a win win for everyone involved, from the lender, to the cash strapped consumer, and with the use of small electric or hybrid vehicles, a true win win for a cleaner environment.
So I would expect soon to start seeing many of the title loan offices on every corner beginning to shut down, and slowly being replaced with cute little electric cars scooting around town decked out in title loan graphics.
I guess the next big step in the industry will be where the loans are all completed via the Internet with no face-to-face interaction between the lender, and the borrower.

Direct Payday Loan Lenders – Only Apply With Them
Oct 27, 2009 PayDay Loans
If you are in need of a payday loan, consider applying directly to the lender. In so doing, a borrower will likely see the lowest interest rates and the lowest number of fees possible for short term loans. Most cash advance lenders offer a great deal of transparency into the fees they charge, so before even filling out an application, a potential client will know the ultimate cost of the loan. Without submitting data to multiple companies, it is possible to feel secure in the knowledge that you have received the most favorable terms for your cash advance loan.
Even with online lending, available direct lenders vary from state to state. When finding the right company for you, first check to make sure they are authorized to do business where you live. There are many sites online that compile lists of direct lenders, along with the interest rates they charge, whether or not transactions may be completed entirely online, where the company is based, and if the borrower needs to have a checking account. Consult these sites for at-a-glance comparisons of your options.
Since these companies fund payday loans themselves, many offer immediate approval and distribution of funds. For the fastest access to your money, consider a company that will deposit the loan directly into your bank account through an electronic money transfer. Often, all that is needed to secure a short term loan is proof of an income that meets their minimum monthly requirements. In most cases, as long as these requirements are met, a borrower may request a loan in the maximum amount a lending company issues.
