I used to work for one the biggest in the UK. A lot of the new legislation at the time destroyed us. Deservingly so.
I felt our company wasn't the worse because we were upfront about what we would charge but we had a lot of sister companies that would have a lot of hidden charges and the execs loved those. Well, guess what, legislation hit us hard because all those others wouldn't be compliant.
Personally, I hated payday loans and I think they're horrible, but I worked at Barclays too. An interview I had with a team there was basically working on "cheating" taxes. So like, it's not much better for society in my opinion either.
