Money Matters Episode 213 - Payday Loans W/ Zara Mohidin

Are you going through financial hardship in life? If so, you could be prey to predatory payday loan lenders in the state of Texas. Even though lawmakers continue to look for ways to regulate payday loan lenders, a legal loophole allows lenders to charge unreasonable rates in the state of Texas. To combat this issue, Zara Mohidin works with Fig Loans to offer products that charge lower rates for people that are struggling financially. Zara Mohidin is the head of strategy and business development at Fig Loans, where she works with everyday people to help lift them out of debt through efficient payday loans. She also has worked in investment management with the global law firm Linklaters, LLP. She is a graduate of NYU, and has worked with the United Nations.
