Pawning or an online loan?
If you have gold jewellery, pawning it with a licensed lender usually costs far less than an online loan, because the gold secures the loan. An online loan needs no gold but costs from 190% a year on a three-month loan to over 800% a year on a 10-day loan. See our gold loans guide.
