Online loans are usually blacked out in the media, but is it really that bad? Here we are going to take a closer look at whether there are benefits to online loans so that you can better consider whether you should take out a loan online.

Large supply increases competition

This may not immediately sound like an advantage, but the large and extensive range of loans online in Denmark provides increased competition between suppliers. That’s actually good news for you.

Increased competition can lead to cheaper loans for you, and better terms. This is because all the suppliers are fighting over the customers and want you to choose exactly them. For that to happen, they will have to operate on some favorable terms.

While it can be difficult to choose when there are so many options on the market, it ultimately provides some better choices.

Many options compared for cheaper loans

There are also many good comparison services online that might help you find a cheaper loan than what you would initially find. There are many loans to choose from and it can be incredibly tempting to just go for the first and seemingly best, but it is not a good idea.

When you compare multiple loans, there’s money to be saved. You do not have to pay more than necessary for the amount you want to borrow.

With Loanscouter you can find and compare several loans so that you can find the best and cheapest loan for you. When comparing multiple loans, it is a good idea to know what you are looking for. Are you looking for a large or small loan? Do you want to pay it down quickly, or over several years? 

Once you have figured this out, then you can use your preferences to find the perfect loans for you to choose from. It’s a good idea to look at what is called a loan example. It is a realistic statement of what a loan will look like and there you can get very useful information about the loan. It is a good idea to look at the figure called APR, annual percentage rate of charge, if you want to know what annual cost your loan might entail. It can help give you a good basis for comparison.

Can you use a loan to get an overview of your finances?

It may sound a bit counterproductive to use a loan to get an overview of your finances, but it is not as stupid an idea as it may sound. If you have many small loans and small debt items, then it may be smart to look at a solution such as a collected loan. With this, you can collect small loans in one bigger, collected loan. That is, you get a bigger loan, which contains all of your small loans.

Your old loans are usually repaid with the collected loan, and then you only have to deal with that. It is stressful to pay down so many small, expensive loans, and therefore a collected loan can help you regain control of your finances.

A survey carried out by Megafon for TV2 has found that 71 percent of parents have handed over children to daycare in spite of them being sick.

Moreover, 21 percent of those surveyed admitted to medicating their kids with paracetamol, such as Panodil, before sending them to school.

The FOLA parents’ organisation is shocked by the findings.

“I think it is absolutely crazy. It simply cannot be that a child goes to school sick and plays with lots of other children. Then we are faced with the fact that they will infect the whole institution,” said FOLA chair Signe Nielsen.

Pill pushers
At the Børnehuset daycare institution in Silkeborg a meeting was called where parents were implored not to bring their sick children to school.

At Børnehuset there are fears that parents prefer to pack their kids off with a pill without informing teachers.

“We occasionally have children who that they have had a pill for breakfast,” said headteacher Susanne Bødker. “You might think that it is a Panodil more than a vitamin pill, if it is a child who has just been sick, for example.”

Parents sick and tired
Parents, when confronted, often cite pressure at work as a reason for not being able to stay at home with their children.

Many declare that they simply cannot take another day off, as they are afraid of being fired.

Allan Randrup Thomsen, a professor of virology at KU, has heavily criticised the parents’ actions, describing the current situation as a “vicious circle”.

“It promotes the spread of viruses, and it adds momentum to a cycle where parents are pressured by high levels of sick-leave. If they then choose to send the children to daycare while they are still recovering, they keep the epidemic going in daycares, and this in turn puts a greater burden on the parents.”
