Sister newspaper Illum reveals how in the last two years and a half, Monte di Pietà gave some €392,874 to persons who were in urgent need of money.
The Monte di Pietà Buildings provide a pawning service whereby precious articles are accepted as security against a low interest (5%) loan. Usually, gold, silver and other precious jewellery are the most pawned.
The Monte di Pietà loans money for a maximum period of three years. The loan is based on the value of objects brought by the individual.

Dan mhux suppost li huwa forma ta social service, jekk huwa hekk ghaliex interesi ta 5%?
Il Bank ma jaghtix daqshekk interessi. Il-gvern qed jaghmel uzura legalizzata?
