From the story:

Lower Columbia CAP is gunning for the business of payday lenders — minus the high interest rates that cost consumers millions nationwide each year.

The area’s largest social-service agency is hoping to start a community bank that gives low-income people a low-interest lending option.

Data from a year-long pilot program indicates a need for more loan options for low-income residents, said Marcel Goulet, director of CAP’s Financial Independence Center.
