  • The Application of Microcredit Technology to the UK: Key Commercial and Policy Issues
    The Application of Microcredit Technology to the UK: Key Commercial and Policy Issues by Rosalind Copisarow ABSTRACT: This article addresses the following issues: who needs microcre- dit in the UK, what is the extent of the unmet demand across the country, what are the precise terms and conditions required by microentrepreneurs, how repayment rates of at least 95% can be expected, and how an institu- tion making microcredits can become self-financing within six years. The article also describes the main barriers faced by microcredit institutions in the UK and offers solutions to obtaining funds from the private, public, and voluntary sectors and to operating within a legal and regulatory framework that permits microcredit institutions to serve their clients with the products that they need. Finally, the article examines the social and economic impact that can be expected from microcredit, at an individual client level, at a local community level, and at a national level. In the UK, there are approximately 500,000 microenterprises. These are tiny businesses which have no more than five employees. Only about 3% to 4% of them, however, are able to obtain credit from all the commer- Journal of Microfinance cial, government, and voluntary sector sources combined. Microfinance provides such enterprises with access to capital for as long as they need it. It thereby acts as a financial “partner,” supporting their development into mainstream banking. This is achieved through a series of incremen- tal loans for working capital or investment purposes. The UK is not alone in being so underserved. Microfinance in the whole industrialized world is at present hardly existent, and certainly not in a way that is capable of making a significant impact on an affordable, long-term basis.

  • Payday Lending in America: Profitability and Regulation in the Payday Lending Market
    Payday Lending in America: Profitability and Regulation in the Payday Lending Market by Orion Wilcox A thesis submitted to the faculty of the University of Mississippi in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the Sally McDonnell Barksdale Honors College. Oxford May 2014 Approved by __________________________________________ Advisor: Professor Josh Hendrickson __________________________________________ Reader: Professor Mark Van Boening __________________________________________ Reader: Professor Thomas Garrett Dedicated to my father Tony William Powers. ii Abstract Payday lending is a highly contentious form of credit. Consumer advocates often argue for strict regulation or complete banning of the industry based on the idea that payday lending rates are usurious. Providers of payday loans argue that their product offers access to credit that would not be available otherwise. In order to reconcile this debate, I analyze financial data on the largest payday lender in the country Advance America. Furthermore, I examine the 2008 Arkansas payday lending law to analyze the impact of the ban on bounced check fees, overdraft charges, and Non-Sufficient Funds charges at state chartered Arkansas banks. I show that, contrary to the conventional wisdom, margins in the payday lending market are actually quite slim with Advance America profiting only $2.10 per $100 lent during the most profitable year in the data set. Secondly, I show that following the Arkansas payday loan ban, income from service charges at banks in the state rose by an average of $390,000 per quarter. This analysis adds credence to the argument that bank fees may be substitutable for payday loans and questions whether or not payday lending bans are welfare improving.

Electronic copy available at: http://ssrn.com/abstract=1189122 Draft – Please Do Not Cite Without Permission Money for Nothing: Charitable Deductions for Microfinance Lenders Abstract The last five years have seen a huge increase in the general public’s interest in microfinance, which provides financial services such as loans, insurance, and savings instruments to people living in poverty. At the same time, the popularity of social networking through the internet has exploded. These two worlds intersect in the form of websites that permit a U.S. individual to use PayPal or a credit card to loan small amounts of money to poor people around the world. By far the most successful of these microcredit websites was also the first such website: Kiva Microfunds, or Kiva. Although loans through Kiva are truly loans (that is, the lenders expect repayment), Kiva loans pay the individual lender no interest.
