According to one cash advance employee who responded to AboutPaydayLoan.com’s survey, the ripple effect of the Financial Reform Bill has numerous like him looking for higher ground before the storm. ”If CFPB ends up putting a crazy cap on payday cash advances, then we could be out of jobs,” wrote one cash advance worker in response to the poll. A potential rate cap of 36 percent APR is rumored for online cash advance outlets and the more visible storefront locations. That low figure would cripple those cash advance entities who do not diversify under other practicable business models. As you can imagine, this is what payday loan employees fear.

Cash advance rules are strong enough

As one reader who is an employee of a small payday advance business commented on a money advance industry-related blog called the Cash advance Blog:

“I am getting so flustered with all of this. Every day single day I wait on news that will shut us down or news that they will leave us alone. I feel as if many of us are on pins and needles wondering if soon we will be in the unemployment lines. Job security is gone, and a lot of the zest that I once had is fizzling out. I am not alone in this. There is uncertainty in the air. … I sure wish at least we knew what and when these changes would occur.”
