Market Meltdown Great News For Factoring Company Woodbridge Investments

The U.S. central bank doubled its planned auction of cash to banks, increasing it to $900 billion. The US Central Bank also unveiled a unit to buy commercial paper, which is debt used by companies for short-term funding. In an unprecedented effort to further ease the current economic crisis, the worst since the Great Depression, the Federal Reserve and four other central banks coordinated to lower the Global interest rate.

Factoring companies lend money or purchase receivables such as structured settlements, annuities, and lottery payments. These companies are helping consumers get cash in this tight credit market.
