2. Your textbook defines an
installment loan as a “loan with regular payments” (Cleaves, Hobbs, &
Noble, 2014, page 428). Search the internet to find an article or application
of a type of installment loan that you find interesting, that you encounter on
a daily basis or that you find in your profession. Present this article or
application to the class and explain why you chose the example. Find the amount
financed, the installment price, and the finance charge of the installment
loan. Include the URL for the site you used. Do not copy the text in the site
verbatim. You should summarize your findings.

Debit cards most definitely have
the benefit of convenience for the customer. They are quick to use
compared to writing checks and there is no need to handle change when
making transactions. This convenience does come with a cost.
With the use of electronic payments, including debit cards, we risk the
chance of identification or account compromise. Your information is
stored every time you swipe your card. Breaches of financial
information data bases are constantly in the news. Your information
can also be skimmed by merchants. This information is sold to
criminals that make new debit cards with your information on it. As a
bank employee, I see this every single day with our customers. It is
important to remember, with convenience comes risk.
I spoke with my bank’s cashier
and controller to discuss the risks of debit card usage. They stated
the bank is many times responsible for customer losses due to customer
negligence. This has become a huge issue for banks. My sources
are very reliable concerning this topic as they are employed to handle such
affairs as this.
Above is a link for “cash
installment loans”. This website gives an example of an installment loan
for the amount of $200. Term 30 days. Interest charged is
$58. APR is 2010%. Installment loans are an option on many of
these sites. These sites are obviously targeting desperate people and
these rates would be illegal under bank regulation.

I
feel like there are definitely a lot of benefits to a debit card rather
than a credit card. For starters its running off of the money you
actually have in your account opposed to borrowing it like a credit
card and having interest to pay later. With some credit cards you can
even get cash back with it and with a debit you can which is of better
convenient to the customer. With loss of theft, you can call your bank
right there on the spot and get it cancelled and have a new one send to
you and you'd receive it in a matter of days to two weeks depending on
where you live. The security on a credit card is way low also because
there's no pin number to input in order to use it. With just a few
quick swipes your card could be maxed out and you'd be stuck with charges
and interest to deal with that someone else called. With a debit card
your funds are protected because you need a PIN number to use it. Sure
there are people out there who sign the back of their cards so that
they have to be I.D to use it. However, I know from personal experience
that people rarely check to see if the card is signed to protect the
customer that way.
The
installment load reference site caught my attention because I'm at a
place in my life where bettering my credit is definitely a priority.
The article talks about sites on the web that people who even have
terrible credit can get installment loans that work for then through a
variety of loan options. They generally offer installment loans
"Up to 4000" and are "committed to getting people back
on their feet". When visiting the actual bank page I couldn't find
any indo regarding the APR or other special interest. They want you to
begin the application process first and I definitely wont be doing
that! I feel like its better to give interest rates up front because
people know what they're getting into. When it's not on display it give
me the feeling that the rates are going to be out of this world, and
most of them really are!
