Your members are using payday lending services. If you are not providing a safe alternative, where are they going?
CUALS is the Better Alternative
Credit unions used to be the place to go for small dollar, short-term loans. Unfortunately, over the years, the costs associated with underwriting and offering these loans became cost prohibitive. Today, credit unions nationwide now enjoy a modern solution — XtraCash, brought to you by Credit Union Alternative Lending Solutions (CUALS). A short-term lending CUSO, CUALS is a 100% risk-free payday-lending alternative, which also serves as a non-interest income generator. CUALS partners with credit unions to uniquely offer lower cost loans and to encourage financial education to their FOMs.
