American Institute Of Banking - AIB

  

Categories: Banking, Education

The AIB is a kissing cousin of the ABA and it fosters education in the banking world. How do you bank? When is a loan a good loan? What compliance regs are required in this state versus that one? Those are the teachings they proffer and they've been doing it for over a hundred years. They must be reasonably good, or they wouldn't have a couple hundred thousand bankers participating in their programs every year.

commercials you're seeing out there a payday loan is a loan using the promise

00:31

of delivery of cash on your payday cheque as collateral and for most

00:36

companies loaning money on payday this is an extremely profitable business

00:41

because they quote only charge you 2% unquote for the loan but let's do the

00:47

math you're getting the cash two weeks early and last time we looked at a

00:51

calendar there were 52 weeks in a year or 26 bimonthly pay periods so if

00:57

they're charging you 2% to lend you money for one of those bimonthly pay

01:02

periods well their annualized rate that they're charging you for lending you

01:07

that money well that's 52 percent a year right 26 times 2% it's 52 percent a year

01:14

even the worst credit cards charge dramatically less than this rate of
