In February 1989, Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain decided his band needed a second guitarist to round out their sound. Drummer Chad Channing suggested that his childhood friend Jason Everman might be a perfect fit for the band, and the guitarist played his first gig with the newly expanded rockers from Aberdeen, Washington during a dorm night at the Evergreen. State College on February 7, 1989.

Everman’s recruitment also benefited Nirvana in another way: when producer Jack Endino billed Sup Pop for his work on the trio’s debut album, Bleach, the band’s new guitarist offered to settle the $606.17 bill.

Bleach was released by Sub Pop on June 15, 1989, and a week later the four musicians hit the road promoting the album, playing their first gig of the tour at the Covered Wagon Saloon in San Francisco on June 22. The following evening, at 6 p.m., Nirvana played a free in-store gig at Rhino Records in Westwood, Los Angeles, performing songs from their recently released debut set, as well as the as-yet-unreleased track Divewhich was demoed with Everman at a studio session in April, and a brand new song called Polly.

An artistic masterpiece by Maltese Baroque artist Francesco Zahra (1710-1773) has been brought back to its former glory through a meticulous process of preservation and restoration.

The restored painting, The Presentation of Jesus in the Templewas unveiled on April 29, in time for the annual May celebrations commemorating the 279th anniversary of the town of Qormi as Città Pinto.

The painting of The Presentation of Jesus in the Temple by Francesco Zahra before and after conservation and restoration.

On June 23, 2021, Father Mario Mangion, Archpriest of St George Parish Church; George Sciberras, rector of the Confrérie du Saint-Sacrement within the said parish; and Joseph Bugeja, who was overseeing the nomination process, announced that this long-neglected Zahra painting had been approved for restoration.

The monumental painting hangs in the right transept above the St. George Parish Altar, which commemorates the Purification of the Blessed Virgin Mary and the Presentation of Christ in the Temple (also known as Candlemas or il-Festa tal-Gandlora).

The painting was photographically documented in normal, grazing and UV light before carrying out the restoration work.The painting was photographically documented in normal, grazing and UV light before carrying out the restoration work.

In May 1743, Grand Master Pinto de Fonseca officially recognized Casal Curmi (also known as Casal Fornaro) as a city and Pinto’s shield with five inverted red crescents crowned by a fortified castello was adopted on its coat of arms. However, the parish of Qormi dedicated to St George is much older. It is one of the oldest surviving parishes in Malta, so much so that it was listed in the Quiterniolus Pro Concordia Taxarum inventory, compiled by Bishop Senatore De Mello de Noto in 1436.

Hilary Spiteri, art historian and educatorHilary Spiteri, art historian and educator

Through the ages, Qormi became a melting pot, where various social and religious activities were organized by the devotees who used to gather in nearby hamlets and villages. Most likely, an official parish establishment already existed in Casal Curmi before 1436.

The year 1584 marked a new beginning for the social identity and ecclesiastical history of Qormi. A new parish church was built, towering over the local townhouses and overlooking the surrounding rural areas. Qormi was the first Maltese town to pioneer the construction of a new parish church in accordance with the architectural revival and fine artistic taste introduced by the Jerosmolitan Order of St. John soon after the Great Siege of 1565.

The original plans consisted of a central nave flanked by two aisles. In 1630, two transepts were built to amplify the church in a Latin cross plan. The facade was built in 1636 and a decorative sculptural scheme added to it, the designs of which are attributed to the early 17th century Maltese architect Tommaso Dingli (1591-1666). In 1684, the church was finally crowned by a majestic dome designed by the famous Maltese architect Lorenzo Gafà (1639-1703).

The modifications of the 1630s took about two decades. Subsequently, the interior of the church is richly decorated with Baroque altarpieces in keeping with the decorative style of the 17th century. The documentary research of the historian Joseph Grima confirms that the Brotherhood of the Sacrament was in charge of the maintenance of the right transept. Carving work on the prospect of the stone altar was in full swing in 1656. The embellishment was completed in a short time, certainly before 1662.

“This work is the fruit of the golden age of Zahra”

This documentation also sheds light on the order for the altar painting representing The Presentation of Jesus in the Temple. Count Saverio Marchese (1757-1833) confirmed in his journals that it is Zahra and praised him as “… una delle più belle opere del bravo pittore Maltese …” (“…one of the most beautiful works of the virtuoso Maltese painter…”)

Zahra came from a distinguished family of Senglean stone carvers. His father was the prolific stone sculptor Pietro Paolo Zahra (1685–1747). Francesco Zahra’s career as an artist spanned four decades and was a crescendo in both artistic quality and volume of commissions. His manner matured into a baroque style strongly influenced by the chiaroscuro very fashionable in Naples, a constant reminder of the eternal influence exercised by the Calabrian master painter Mattia Preti (1613-1699) on the islands.

By 1745 Zahra had surpassed his tutor Gio Nicola Buhagiar (1613-1752) and had become the most prolific Maltese painter, rivaled only by the French Classical Baroque artist Antoine Favray (1706-1798). The latter was working in Malta at this time, mainly fulfilling commissions from the Hospitaller Order of St. John. In the mid-1750s, Zahra’s style developed further. His ever-increasing confidence in rendering multi-figured compositions in more refined and colorful settings brings him closer to Favray’s manner.

It was the conservator-restorer Pierre Bugeja, director of Prevarti Ltd who, with his team, undertook the meticulous conservation process of The Presentation of Jesus in the Temple.

This included undoing most of the damage done by previous post-war restoration interventions.

The painting was photographically documented in normal, grazing and UV light before carrying out the restoration work.The painting was photographically documented in normal, grazing and UV light before carrying out the restoration work.

According to Bugeja, the work can be confirmed to be entirely by Zahra’s hand and made in the 1760s. (The first three digits easily read as “176” while the last digit remains a dubious 1 or 7.) Among art historians and connoisseurs, the hand of the master painter has never been in doubt. However, it was unanimously accepted that the work was made in the 1750s and no later.

In light of this discovery, as confirmed by fellow art historian Sandro Debono, this work is the fruit of Zahra’s golden age when he had a fruitful artistic relationship with Favray, which perhaps involved be a collaboration on certain works.

Debono praises Zahra’s genius and artistic dexterity in composing a work that shares an affinity with the dignified French Baroque manner imported by Favray and is highly comparable to Zahra’s magnum opus produced for the parish church of Saint-Philippe from Żebbug (The Ordination of Saint Philip of Agira1753, and the Death of Saint Philip of Agira1753) and the decorative scheme of the chapter house of the cathedral church of Mdina (Apotheosis of Saint Paul1755-1756).

In conclusion, allow me to reiterate the sincere pleasure and gratitude with which the artistic community and the public welcome this initiative and the hard work required to undertake this colossal task. Hats off to those who helped make this project a true celebration of local and national identity.

The project was co-financed by the European Union under the LEADER+ program with the help of the Fondation GAL du Sud-Est.

With the latest reveal that the upcoming Japanese RPG One Piece Odyssey the 2022 release will feature turn-based combat as one of its combat mechanics, fans of both A play and classic RPGs are thrilled with this ambitious undertaking.

For fans who are caught up in the series and want more A playespecially with an extended hiatus after the conclusion of the Wano arc, this game will be a great diversion until the series resumes. One Piece Odyssey will hopefully serve as a reminder of the Straw Hat crew’s cleverest ideas and exploits in the series.

VIDEO OF THE DAY

Jinbe – Straw Hat Alliance with the Fire Tank Pirates


One Piece Fire Chariot Pirates

Jinbe proved to be a highly skilled and intelligent strategist, earning the title of Shichibukai or “Warlord of the Sea” before the group disbanded. His excellent tactical decisions got the Straw Hats out of tight spots where they couldn’t think of a proper solution.

Related: Luffy’s Strongest Forms, According To The One Piece Manga

Arguably Jinbe’s smartest decision was to convince Luffy and Sanji to ally with Capone Bege’s Fire Tank Pirates, giving them a much better chance of escaping Whole Cake Island and Big Mom, one of the A playthe most powerful villains. Knowing that Luffy and Sanji would continue to argue over the escape plans, Jinbe’s interjection allowed the entire Straw Hat crew to escape safely.


Sanji – Law Intentions


One Piece Sanji and Law

During the Punk Hazard arc where the crew was pitted against Caesar Clown, the Straw Hats learned that Caesar had developed the fake Devil Fruit SMILE, which mimics the powers of some existing Devil Fruits. When the crew sails to Dressrosa where they learn of Doflamingo’s connection to SMILE, the Straw Hat and Heart Pirates of Trafalgar D. Law form an alliance.

Sanji’s ability to guess a person’s true intentions after spending time with them gave him the ability to detect deception in others. After noticing that Law’s actions did not coincide with the alliance’s plans, he was able to take action which saved Law’s life after attacking Doflamingo’s crew fueled by rage.


Luffy – Intuition of Crocodile Weakness


One Piece Luffy vs Crocodile

Luffy has never been someone to rely on for his wits, preferring to get out of sticky situations with goofy but effective tactics. Although he has his rare moments of genius, they usually occur during the fights he has thrown around while trying to work out clever solutions to the problems he faces.

Related: 10 Times Luffy From One Piece Almost Died

One of Luffy’s most inspired moments occurs during his fight with the crocodile Shichibukai during the climax of the Alabasta arc. While in the desert country of Alabasta, Crocodile held a significant advantage with his Devil Fruit, the Suna Suna no Mi or Sand Sand Fruit. Luffy won the fight by deducing that by covering Crocodile in water he would be unable to transform and would be vulnerable to Luffy’s powerful attacks.


Brook – Using his head (literally)


One Piece Brook Open Head Poneglyph

Brook is a veteran pirate whose journey began and ended decades before the Straw Hats. Trapped in Florian’s Triangle, Brook died along with his crew, though he was revived sometime later by his Yomi Yomi no Mi or Revive Revive Fruit, potentially A playis the most ridiculous devil fruit, as a “living” skeleton. Brook’s unique body has led Oda to create a wide range of skeleton jokes and gags.

Although Brook has always shown himself to be an intelligent crew member, many of his greatest intellectual triumphs have come from working in tandem with others. However, using his unique constitution, Brook came up with the clever idea of ​​storing copies of the Poneglyph they stole from Big Mom inside his skull as a unique and hilarious way to protect them when he was captured by Big Mom.


Zoro – Training with the enemy


One Piece Zoro Hawk Mihawk Eyes

Zoro, like his captain, prefers to throw a punch first, then throw another later. His simplistic views, itch for a good fight, and horrible sense of direction have made him known as someone not to be relied upon to create a cohesive plan.

Frustrated with the power gap shown to him during the Marineford War arc, Zoro made the surprising decision to seek swordsmanship training from the world’s greatest swordsman and Straw Hat nemesis, Dracule. “Hawk Eyes” Mihawk, one of the most powerful warlords in the world. A play. Zoro’s surprisingly adult decision to ask Mihawk for directions is the greatest display of wisdom Zoro has ever had.

Usopp – Kabuto and Clima-tact


One Piece Usopp Kabuto Nami Clima-tact

With below average to average strength at best, Usopp’s combat abilities stem from his sharpshooting abilities which he displays with his masterful use of a slingshot. As the story progresses, Usopp’s tactical abilities expand as he continually unveils increasingly powerful weapons he creates with a vast array of effects.

Usopp Kabuto’s sling, Kuro Kabuto, and the many versions of Nami’s weather-manipulating Clima-tact were all developed and manufactured by Usopp. His weapons single-handedly transformed Nami and himself into some of the most technically efficient fighters in the crew. Not to mention, Usopp is never satisfied and often rearranges weapons into considerably stronger versions.


Chopper – Rumble Ball


One Piece Chopper Rumble Ball

Tony Tony Chopper is the Straw Hats’ doctor who studied science and medicine for years under his former mentor and family member, Dr. Kureha. Chopper has shown his medical knowledge and experience time and time again by keeping the Straw Hats alive and healthy, as well as solving many medical and disease-related crises.

Related: One Piece Crew Members Ranked By Bravery

While Chopper was originally able to use his Devil Fruit to take on 3 different forms, he was unhappy with the level of help he could provide. Chopper then developed the Rumble Ball, a drug which, while dangerous, allowed him to add more transformations to his repertoire, allowing him to manipulate his Devil Fruit more than anyone else in the series.

Nami – Sailing the Grand Line


One Piece Nami Sailing Sunny

Nami serves as the Straw Hat’s navigator as most of the members, especially Zoro, have little sense of direction and even less skill to properly navigate a ship. Nami’s cartographic and navigational skills were so advanced that the pirate Arlong did everything he could to force Nami to work for him by threatening the lives of his entire village in one of the A playthe most tragic stories.

The Grand Line is known as potentially the toughest test of a sailor’s skill. Depending on the day, time and route chosen, the waters of the Grand Line can experience drastic changes. Nami’s ability to not only navigate the waters safely, but also navigate the predicted locations with precision has cemented her as one of the best navigators of all. A play.

Franky – The Sunny Mile


One Piece Thousand Sunny

Franky is a genius cyborg and engineer who always seems to develop another wacky and surprisingly useful invention, either for the benefit of the crew or as modifications for his own body. His constant clever solutions make the anticipation of his next invention all the sweeter.

Franky is credited with creating the current Straw Hat ship The Thousand Sunny and its hundreds of clever innovations and quirks. While the creation of the ship was incredible on its own, his choice to create the ship out of wood from the Adam Treasure Tree was ingenious. Not only did this make it much more durable than regular wood, but its immense strength also proved essential during the many times the Sunny came under attack.


Robin – Learn to read poneglyphs


One Piece Robin Poneglyph

Robin is by leaps and bounds the smartest of all the Straw Hats. Her exceptional skills in learning and absorbing information led her to be seen as a credible threat to the World Government from the age of 8. His skills were so great that even rival scholars who had decades of experience and research were easily surpassed by Robin.

One of Robin’s greatest personal accomplishments was when she taught herself to read the almost impossible to decipher poneglyphs. The poneglyphs, represented by large tablets of stone, collectively hold lost information about the Void Age, which potentially holds damning evidence of the wrongdoings of World Government. Her rare ability to read them has led to her being hunted by rival pirate crews and the Marines who wish to use her skills or kill her if she refuses.

In 1821, an earthquake shook southern Spain and in the process exposed the entrance to Cueva de Ardales, a previously hidden cave. Inside, more than 1,000 red carvings and paintings dotted its walls, ceilings, ground rocks and other natural elements.

Archaeologists have long suspected the cave artwork to be very old, but now they believe they have a much clearer picture of exactly when and who created it. Neanderthals and later more modern humans left their artistic mark on the cave around 58,000 years ago, according to a new paper published this week in the journal PLOS One.

An international team of archaeologists explored Cueva de Ardales from 2011 to 2018, then used radiocarbon and uranium-thorium dating techniques to understand the cave’s history.

They believe Neanderthals first entered the cave in the Middle Paleolithic, or mid-Stone Age, drawing on the walls and keeping their tools inside. After that, human visits to Cueva de Ardales fluctuated until the end of the Neolithic/Chalcolithic – the last part of the Stone Age and the Copper Age – around 5,500 years ago,

Based on the items found by archaeologists in the cave, they also suspect that it was used only to create art and bury the dead, and not as a shelter. This suggests that the site was highly symbolic for its visitors.

Tools found inside Cueva de Ardales

“What is very exciting is that, as far as we can tell so far, Ardales was not a classic campsite,” said Gerd-Christian Weniger, an archaeologist at the University of Cologne and the one of the authors of the article. Gizmodois Isaac Schultz. “It was not clear before the excavations.”

Although they found no chimneys or other evidence to suggest domestic occupation of the cave, the researchers did document a deer tooth, a wildcat bone, pieces of ochre, tools and the jawbone of a 12-year-old boy, among others. artifacts. They also found a fragment of rope and some charcoal dating to the late 16th or early 17th century, suggesting that someone abseiled into the cave a few hundred years before the earthquake. land of 1821 discovers its entrance.

Capped stalagmite

Artists made makeshift lamps from capped stalagmites.

Ramos-Muñoz et al., CC-BY 4.0

Natural light could not reach the cave’s deepest depths, so its prehistoric artists had to improvise to see what they were drawing. Researchers have found charcoal residue in stalagmite caps near some artworks, suggesting painters created makeshift lamps to illuminate their work area.

After the 19th century earthquake, curious tourists strolled inside Cueva de Ardales, located in Málaga, Spain, about 30 miles from the Mediterranean coast. But it took nearly 100 years for researchers to realize the value of its archaeological riches. In 1918, French archaeologist Henri Breuil recognized that the artwork inside the cave was very old, probably dating from the Paleolithic period. Despite this, archaeologists paid little attention to Cueva de Ardales until around 1990, when researchers made a comprehensive inventory of all the rock art in the cave.

Although this latest study sheds more light on the mysterious cavern, there is still an entire section that researchers have yet to investigate, for example. Gizmodo. Hopefully there’s more art — and more information about prehistoric humans, their ancestors, and their creativity — to come.

Set to follow a new character named Uta, One Piece Movie: Red will take viewers to a new island where the pop diva takes to the stage to perform in front of her adoring fans. According to the trailer, Uta is “the greatest diva in the world”, and her voice is ready to change the world. Of course, that’s not the most intriguing thing about her, as the full trailer reveals that Uta is actually the daughter of legendary pirate Red-Haired Shanks.

With such a dynamite premise, it’s easy to see why A play fans can’t wait to step into a movie theater to see the latest addition to the gripping and action-packed film series. But when exactly can fans expect to see One Piece Movie: Red out in US theaters? Has the movie ever been greenlit for a Western release date? If you’re wondering when you’ll be able to pick up your tickets, we’ve got the answers you’re looking for below. Yo-ho-ho, don’t take a bite of Gum-Gum! Keep reading.

When is the Western release date of ‘One Piece Film: Red’?

Do One Piece Movie: Red do you have a western release date? The short answer is no. Not Again, In any event. The film is slated for release in Japan, however, on August 6, 2022. That’s just a few months away, just before fall arrives. This date was confirmed in the feature film. One Piece Movie: Red trailer and has been frozen for some time. Unfortunately, no official release date for the film has been confirmed yet.

Most anime films are released in Japan first and hit Western theaters at a later date, usually with options for dubbed or subtitled screenings on different dates. Funimation is the North American distributor of A playand launched the 14th film in the series’ history, One Piece: Stampede in October 2019, just months after its debut in Japan in August 2019.

If we follow this logic, it is quite possible that after One Piece Movie: Red debuts in August 2022, we could see a Western release date as early as October 2022. Given that COVID-19 is still of great concern, however, and One Piece: Stampede released during a pre-pandemic schedule, it’s possible Funimation may need more time to complete the project for English-speaking viewers in the West. It’s also worth noting that in the official Crunchyroll trailer, the words “Coming Soon” appear at the end of the clip, meaning the movie’s release could be a lot closer than we think.

So if you are looking to see the newest A play movie as soon as possible, your best bet will be to wait a few months and keep your eyes on A play news as soon as it hits. We can see it as early as fall 2022, but nothing has been officially confirmed yet. Rest assured, however, due to One Piece popularity, we will probably see it very, very soon.

LANSING, Mich. (WLNS) – The typical interest rate in Michigan right now for payday loans or short-term loans is 370%.

The rate is an issue that a group wants to change.

“We’ve modeled our campaign on several other states that have recently approved payday loan reform and are proposing to cap interest rates at no more than 36%,” said Michiganders For Fair campaign spokesman Josh Hovey. Lending.

That 36% figure is about the same as a high-interest credit card.

The group says the companies’ current payday rates are hurting struggling families.

A recent study by the Center for Responsible Lending indicates that the average person who takes out a payday loan will need to take out 10 other loans just to keep up.

“They will immediately pay once and not have enough money to cover the rest of their bills and so it will become this endless cycle of debt,” Hovey said.

Today, over 400,000 signatures have been officially scanned and delivered for review to be included on the November ballot.

Fans say it shows the Michiganders support the change.

“We believe this reflects what we already knew to be true from the hearts of the citizens of this state, that they want to see consumer protections within this industry and we believe we are taking a big step to make that happen. produce today,” said the director. of Project Green, Dallas Lenear.

Once the signatures of the petition have been validated by the Board of State Solicitors, the legislator will then have 40 days to approve the initiative.

“When you break the cycle of debt, people are able to support their families better, they have less income to pay off high-interest debt,” Hovey said.

THE ARTIST Gerard Black did not tell the stories of his native heritage for a long time because of the prejudice and ignorance of others.

“I was painting when I was in my early teens and younger, then I quit because of this whole ‘don’t tell people you’re Native’ thing,” the 38-year-old said.

“There were bad stereotypes in that, and advice that you won’t get certain jobs or certain opportunities.”

The former Torquay resident and now owner of local business Tidal Tattoo Torquay shared his story during National Reconciliation Week (May 27-June 3) and said he identifies with its 2022 theme” Be brave. Make the change.”

“Three years ago when my son Oswald was born, I realized that I couldn’t let him go through what I had been through, and I couldn’t let him grow up without feeling proud of his culture – d ‘where he comes from and who his people are,’ Mr Black said.

“Then I knew the only way to do that was to be stronger in myself and share everything I knew, just spreading it out and embracing it.”

The Worimi man has since found fulfillment using his art to help share the ancient stories of his heritage and shared history with non-Indigenous Australians, each work in its own way being a stepping stone on a journey of reconciliation.

Mr Black’s Indigenous Work

“I guess this way of making change for me is like creating positive change and positive connections with my art by educating and talking to people and sharing stories,” he said.

“I want to do it to a point where non-Indigenous people feel as connected to the stories as we do.

“It’s like our common history and our common history, something that we share together.”

The Surf Coast Shire is working on its first Reconciliation Action Plan and has adopted one of Mr Black’s artwork to help symbolize the journey.

It depicts the green of the Otways and the blue of the ocean meeting at the beach. Footprints in the sand trace from either end of the beach to a common ground that is conducive to respectful encounters, deep listening and learning – a place where the green shoots of reconciliation could grow.

Mr Black spoke at the county’s official National Reconciliation Week event held in the council chambers on Tuesday this week, which also featured wife Adnyamathanha and director and co-founder of ‘Arranyinha Marsha Uppill and Wadawurrung wife and cultural educator Corrina Eccles.

Shire Mayor Libby Stapleton said reconciliation remained one of council’s top priorities.

“Reconciliation Week opens up important conversations and learning opportunities, and challenges us to make change for the benefit of all Australians,” said Cr Stapleton.

“The more we know and understand, the better equipped we will be to achieve this ambition.”

This spring, the brand launched its first products in the home space thanks to its Mejuri x Claude Home collaboration – a co-creation of “morphic vessels” imagined by the accessories brand and the contemporary design company vintage and of furniture designed to give your most treasured rooms the home they deserve.

The marble they’re made from and the natural stone and red onyx variations provide a matte backdrop against which your necklaces, earrings and more will *really* shine.

“Working with neutral and organic materials, limestone and onyx, and inspired by forms found in nature, the three-piece jewelry tray set serves as a functional design, an ‘art object'” , Holladay said in a press release. “Bringing this beautifully simple piece to life with the Mejuri team was a dream and I’m so glad you all enjoyed it in your home or as a special gift for a loved one.”

Plus, its simplicity ensures that the pieces lend themselves to any interior or jewelry style, meaning there are few who couldn’t find a place for these in their home.

The capsule collection has officially launched at Mejuri’s new store on Abbot Kinney in Venice, in addition to its eight other physical locations and its online store.

]]> New laws and more affordable lenders could shake up the payday loan market https://yanistoneart.com/new-laws-and-more-affordable-lenders-could-shake-up-the-payday-loan-market/ Tue, 31 May 2022 09:01:00 +0000 https://yanistoneart.com/new-laws-and-more-affordable-lenders-could-shake-up-the-payday-loan-market/ Inflation has particularly affected people who are already struggling to get gas in their tanks and groceries in their refrigerators.

Inflation has particularly affected people who are already struggling to get gas in their tanks and groceries in their refrigerators. For many, a payday loan may seem like the only way to get the money needed.

In recent years, however, as more states impose restrictions on risky short-term lending, new lenders have emerged offering small, lower-cost loans, making it easier than ever before to find a loan. an affordable loan that won’t drag you into unmanageable debt. .

In some states, new laws mean better loans

There is currently no federal law for maximum interest rates on small dollar loans; instead, states decide whether to cap payday loan rates. Therefore, the cost to borrow a few hundred dollars often depends on where you live.

In recent years, four states — Colorado, Hawaii, Ohio and Virginia — have passed laws that effectively reduce the cost of small loans and give borrowers longer repayment terms. A study by The Pew Charitable Trusts published in April found that even under the reforms, payday lenders were still operating, but with more secure loans.

Although some new lenders began doing business in these states once the laws took effect, the main impact was that existing payday lenders consolidated their storefronts and made their loans more affordable, says Alex Horowitz, director of research at Pew.

National banks and local credit unions step in

A bank or credit union may not have been your go-to for a small loan in the past, but it could be today.

Seven major banks have started offering or announced plans to offer small-dollar borrowing options with low annual percentage rates in recent years, Horowitz says, including Bank of America BAC,
+0.95%,
Wells Fargo WFC,
+0.64%
and Truist TFC,
+1.49%.
These loans are available to existing bank customers nationwide, regardless of state interest rate limits.

Banks primarily rely on customers’ bank history rather than their credit scores to determine if they qualify for a small loan. The loans – which start from $100 – are usually repaid in monthly installments at annual interest rates no higher than 36%, the maximum rate an affordable loan can have, according to consumer advocates.

“The fact that banks start offering small loans could disrupt the whole payday loan market,” says Horowitz.

Local credit unions have membership requirements and maintain lower profiles than payday lenders, so they’re often overlooked by people who need cash fast, says Paul Dionne, director of research at Filene, a think tank that focuses on helping credit unions serve their communities.

But if you can walk to your local credit union, chances are you’ll qualify for membership, he says.

This is because credit unions often serve people who live or work in their communities. These organizations strive to provide financial inclusion by tailoring their products, such as loans, to better meet the needs of their customers, Dionne says.

“Credit unions are getting better at having the best product and not saying no and figuring out what’s the best fit for that person coming in,” he says.

Other Borrowing Options

Even in states where laws seek to ban payday loans altogether, people can find alternatives to risky borrowingsays Charla Rios, researcher on small-value loans and debt at the Center for Responsible Lending.

You may be able to work out a payment plan with your utility company or borrow from a friend or family member, she says. Here are some borrowing options to consider before getting a payday loan.

Payday advance. Some companies, including Walmart WMT,
+1.97%
and Amazon AMZN,
+3.66%,
allow their employees to access part of their paycheck earlier as benefits. It can be an interest-free way to borrow money if your employer offers it, but since the repayment comes from your next paycheck, it’s best to use it sparingly.

Cash advance applications. Apps like Earnin and Dave let you borrow a small amount of money, usually $25 to $200, before payday. They sometimes charge a fee for instant access to your money or ask for voluntary tips. They also take reimbursement from your next paycheck.

“Buy now, pay later.” For necessary expenses, a “buy now, pay later” loan allows you to purchase an item with partial payment only. You pay the balance in equal installments, usually over the next six weeks. This type of financing can be interest-free if you pay the full balance on time.

Low interest installment loans. Depending on your credit score and income, you may qualify for an installment loan with an APR below 36%. These loans have amounts ranging from $1,000 to $100,000 and are repaid over longer terms, usually two to seven years. Online lenders who often offer loans for bad credit prequalify you for a loan using a soft credit pull, which allows you to compare loans without affecting your credit score.
