Unbolted is a web-based pawn shop that lets users sell personal assets in exchange for quick and accessible money loans. If in need of financial support, Unbolted subscribers can put up personal assets like jewelry, collectibles or unwanted antiques in exchange for immediate loans.
While traditional pawn shops don't always guarantee a fair exchange of goods and funds, this online retailer aims to make a common process more convenient and rewarding for everyone involved.
“The customer is the driver of the business like never before and we guarantee them the best rates as well as the best user experience," says Unbolted's co-Founder Rito Haldar about the brand's business model and values. This unique business model is not only more practical than traditional pawn shops but is also more reliable than loan services that feature high interest rates.
