{{Q|'''[[w:Alternative financial services|Alternative financial services]]''' (AFS) are [[w:financial services|financial services]] provided outside traditional [[w:banking|banking]] institutions, on which many [[w:poverty|low-income individuals]] depend.

''' What is APR, why does it matter? '''
{{Q|APR stands for the [[w:annual percentage rate|annual percentage rate]].|everyone|annual percentage rate}}


===Peeling a garlic glove in a matter of seconds===
{{Q|[...] In many countries and jurisdictions, lenders (such as banks) are required to disclose the "cost" of borrowing in some standardized way as a form of [[w:consumer protection|consumer protection]]. APR is intended to make it easier to compare lenders and loan options.|Wikipedia|annual percentage rate}}


Peeling a glove of [[garlic]] can be done in a matter of seconds by first removing the hard bit at the bottom and then placing a cook's knife on top of the glove sideways and hitting the knife ever so slightly just to break the structure (not squashing it completely helps you get the peel in almost one piece) and the peel practically falls off

* APR can range from '''hundreds of percent''' to '''few tens''' of percent. Credit card debt is usually in the 10-15% zone.

*Use the spoon to carve nice sub-mouthful sized pieces of the melon

*Make it hot, try not to squash the potato slices
*Add [[salt]]. Make it plenty since much of it will be absorbed into the eggs.
*Throw in [[free-range|free-ranging]] [[egg]]s. Break the egg shell into two pieces by hitting on a solid, sharp corner and pry with your hands so that you can pour the contents so that you use the sharp edges of the shell to pierce the yolk (yellow thingy). Repeat untill the potato-onion mixture is almost covered with the eggs.
*Drop the heat a little and cover the frying pan with something such as the plate, though you should remember that the plate becomes incredibly hot and due to the quick release of heat from porcelain you'll burn your fingers in the next step. Wear protective clothing.
*Think carefully how you will accomplish the next step '''taking into consideration your joints and and muscles in your hands and around your shoulders'''. Meditate and when you've got a working theory, proceed.
*Once the surface of the mixture is solid in such a way that it doesn't stick to things much you take the plate place it over the pan. Holding the pan and the plate together with two hands (remember to wear protective clothing) you flip the whole thing over. Slide the tortilla back to the pan and fry gently. When doing these things in an assembly line fashion you naturally use the other hot pan instead of a plate thus working two stowes in a serial manner.
*Once it's slightly brown and slightly crispy or whatever you prefer take it to a cool place to cool down before serving. Please don't stick straight into the fridge cause that will consume a hell of a lot of energy.
*Slice into sectors for serving and please do serve a '''bottle of [[balsamic vinegar]]''' with it so that everyone can moisten it with vinegar to taste.

This is the Consumerium list of alternative financial services lists.

The Finnish language URLs http://velallisten.yhteinen.asia and http://vertaislainaajien.yhteinen.asia redirect here.

Spectrum of consumer finance by the lowest troll

  • Proletariat finance ->
  • Credit card debt ->
  • Bank loan

What is alternative finance? What are alternative financial services?

Alternative Finance refers to financial channels and instruments that have emerged outside of the traditional finance system such as regulated banks and capital markets. Examples of alternative financing activities through 'online marketplaces' are reward-based crowdfunding, equity crowdfunding, peer-to-peer consumer and business lending, invoice trading third party payment platforms.”

Alternative financial services (AFS) are financial services provided outside traditional banking institutions, on which many low-income individuals depend. In developing countries, these services often take the form of microfinance. In developed countries, the services may be similar to those provided by banks and include payday loans, rent-to-own agreements, pawnshops, refund anticipation loans, some subprime mortgage loans and car title loans, and non-bank check cashing, money orders, and money transfers. It also includes traditional moneylending by door-to-door collection.”

Often the spectrum ranges from brute loan sharking in operations known as w:payday loans all the way to almost respectable interest taking of non-collateralized loans.



Peer-to-peer lending, peer-to-peer investing and socially responsible investing

Peer-to-peer lending, abbreviated P2PL, is the practice of lending money to unrelated individuals, or "peers", without going through a traditional financial intermediary such as a bank or other traditional financial institution. P2PL is not to be confused with peer to peer investing (P2PI). This lending takes place online on peer-to-peer lending companies' websites using various different lending platforms and credit checking tools. Many also use the abbreviation "P2P" when discussing the peer-to-peer lending or investing industries more generally. Peer-to-peer lending is also known as crowdlending.”

Peer-to-peer investing (P2PI) is the practice of investing money in notes to borrowers who are requesting a loan without going through a traditional financial intermediary and who are unknown to the investor.”

Socially responsible investing (SRI), also known as sustainable, socially conscious, "green" or ethical investing, is any investment strategy which seeks to consider both financial return and social good.”

Equity crowdfunding is the online offering of private company securities to a group of people to investment.”

“An ethical bank, also known as a social, alternative, civic, or sustainable bank, is a bank concerned with the social and environmental impacts of its investments and loans. The ethical banking movement includes: ethical investment, impact investment, socially responsible investment, corporate social responsibility, and is also related to such movements as the fair trade movement, ethical consumerism, and social enterprise.”

~ Wikipedia on ethical bank

Microfinance and microcredit

Microfinance is a source of financial services for entrepreneurs and small businesses lacking access to banking and related services.”

~ Wikipedia on microfinance

Microcredit is the extension of very small loans (microloans) to impoverished borrowers who typically lack collateral, steady employment and a verifiable credit history.”

~ Wikipedia on microcredit
More reading Impact of microcredit

What is APR, why does it matter?

“APR stands for the annual percentage rate.”

~ everyone on annual percentage rate

“[...] In many countries and jurisdictions, lenders (such as banks) are required to disclose the "cost" of borrowing in some standardized way as a form of consumer protection. APR is intended to make it easier to compare lenders and loan options.”

~ Wikipedia on annual percentage rate

“In EU all loaning operations must show the APR for their example loans that they use to market their services.”

~ European Parliament on law regarding advertisement of loans
  • APR can range from hundreds of percent to few tens of percent. Credit card debt is usually in the 10-15% zone.
