Payday lenders have branched out. Now they do check cashing and money transfers. In sanctuary city TX, formerly known as Fort Worth they are everywhere that “migrants” are located. They have gone from small one room offices to huge corner lot buildings that compare to Wells Fargo or similar banks. Ripping off the Julios of their tax free pay every Friday. Can’t believe the line into these places on payday!
In Nashville it’s the same. They are in the parts of town where Central Americans have settled. Being here illegally means they don’t have access to a basic bank account that might have something like overdraft protection built in. It’s a niche industry primarily serving the illegal alien community.
