The ABC gets into some interesting areas and one of those difficult ones is Pay Day Loans. So we are never quite sure what to do when we come across companies like PiggyBank. On the one hand, a short-term loan can really help people out, alternatively, the borrower can easily be pulled into a nightmare of spiraling debt. We do like the transparency of this website and the ability to be able to see the true cost of borrowing.
Simon Collyer ABC founder was once given a piece of advice from a former (Australian) girlfriend who evaluated people from politicians to businesspeople with a simple piece of female logic - 'Would you buy a second-hand car from this person'?
This piece of logic has never let us down.
Thank you at Cat at Liz Lean PR Ltd for sending us this information.
Oink, Oink, we have been ticked off it is PiggyBank not Piggy Bank. Personally we hate Company or product names that look like spelling errors. iPad for example!

The fintech company began in 2012 following Dan’s own personal experience with payday loans and realising there was a need for a responsible short-term lending service where customers were at the forefront of the business model. It was this concept, where the goal wasn’t to be the biggest or most profitable lender, but to deliver the right outcomes, which got the attention of CEO Today.
CEO Today recognised Dan for his focus on how the business runs, it’s research and development, as well as developing and valuing his staff. It was noted that his recruiting method, based on good fit for the individual and business, alongside skill sets to support his own, was a key factor in the company’s success.
Dan Ware, CEO of DJS (UK) Limited said: “This recognition from CEO Today is an absolute honour. Our philosophies and objectives don’t mirror those of a typical short-term loans business and it’s fantastic to have my story and efforts recognised.
