What is a payday loan used for?
Payday loans are usually taken out to cover someone financially until their next payday. There could be a number of reasons for needing a payday loan, but the most prevalent is so that a person can cover an emergency cost that they wouldn’t have otherwise been able to afford with their remaining monthly budget. An emergency cost could be anything from having to repair a broken-down car to replacing a washing machine.
