Appearing in the Associated Press on April 23, 2024, Cora Lewis talks to NCLC Associate Director Lauren Saunders about short-term, high-interest loans billed as Earned Wage Access.
“If (Earned Wage Access) were being used by people to cover one emergency cost a year, it could be better than being subject to overdraft fees or payday or auto title loans. But being better than terrible predatory products shouldn’t be the bar.”
Lauren Saunders, associate director of the National Consumer Law Center
