Cash Converters to settle class action

Pawn broker Cash Converters is settling a class action with thousands of customers who claim they were charged excessive interest on loans.

Cash Converters is close to settling a class action launched by customers who claimed they were charged excessive levels of interest and fees on personal loans.

Cash Converters says it is in the process of executing a confidential deed of settlement, with the terms having being verbally agreed and the deed expected to be signed on Thursday.

The pawnbroker has placed its shares in a trading halt ahead of an expected announcement about the settlement.

Two class actions were launched in 2013 by 50,000 Cash Converters customers in NSW.
