One thought on “Agency says apps that let workers access paychecks before payday are providing loans

  1. That’s great news. This is very obviously a loan product, intended to scrape money from those who are the most financially vulnerable.

    Workers shouldn’t be forced to pay to get their paychecks… but to not even properly disclose how much that costs them? Clearly usury.
