"My sister-in-law needed a new set of tires, but didn't have a credit card to buy them, nor did she have the extra cash. She borrowed the money from me. Otherwise, she'd have gone to a payday loan store, paid more than a thousand dollars for her tires, and gotten trapped. I founded ZestCash because that just isn't fair."
