North Carolina ended payday loans in 2001, when the law that allowed them expired and was not renewed. State leaders were concerned about their high cost.
Small consumer loans are now made under the North Carolina Consumer Finance Act, with the rate and fees set by state law. An installment loan is the legal way to borrow for a short-term need.
North Carolina caps a licensed installment loan at $25,000 and caps the rate, with lower rates on larger balances. The rates below apply to loans of up to $12,000, which covers every loan Superb Cash Advance makes. Here is how the limits work.
| Loan amount | Maximum interest rate |
|---|---|
| Up to $4,000 | 33% a year |
| $4,000 to $8,000 | 24% a year on the part above $4,000 |
| Above $8,000 | 18% a year on the part above $8,000 |
A one-time processing fee applies at closing: $30 on a loan of $3,000 or less, or 1% of the amount financed on a larger loan, up to $150. State law also sets the term at no fewer than 12 months. For example, a $1,000 loan at 33% over 12 months costs about $180 in interest plus the $30 fee. You always see your exact APR, monthly payment, and total before you sign.
