A new trend that is worrying local authorities has emerged in Sweden: quick loans by SMS. The mechanism is very simple: you send an SMS and in 15 minutes you receive a loan of about 300 euros that you will have to return in 30 days and with an interest rate of 18%. The problem is that this type of credit is directed to young people and/or with low income that upon expiry of the term may not return the money, and they decide to return to ask for credit to cope with the previous one, with what interests are multiplying with the problems of non-payment that may generate in a collective that is not known for its solvency. This new form attractive attract groups that normally not raised request a credit and are suddenly immersed in fairly large debts. (Not to be confused with Ben Horowitz!). Authorities are considering legislating that debts may not exceed twice the amount initially requested so as to avoid greater evils. On the other hand the companies that are dedicated to these businesses deny that they are creating problems and point out that your customers have an average age of 32 years and that its rate of defaults is only 2%. A new way of quick loans. Will we have this experience in Spain? any entity will dare to launch? It will allow the Bank of Spain that this type of product can be marketed in our country? We are sure that soon we will have news about this very aggressive product by both its immediacy and convenience in their marketing (must not forget that our country is in the world top in using SMS places)..
