Georgia Payday Loan Alternatives

Before you sign, you will receive a free, no-obligation loan estimate showing the APR, fees, total repayment amount, and monthly payment, so you can compare your options and make an informed decision.

You can apply online or visit one of our locations. Applying online is the fastest and most convenient option. If approved, funds may be available as soon as the same business day, depending on the time of approval and your bank.

Why Payday Loans Are Not Available in Georgia

Georgia ended payday loans in 2004 to protect residents from very high borrowing costs. Before then, short-term loans could carry triple-digit annual rates.

Today, small consumer loans in Georgia are made under the state's Industrial Loan Act, with the rate and fees set by law. An installment loan is the legal way to borrow for a short-term need.

How Much an Installment Loan Costs in Georgia

Georgia gives you two installment options depending on how much you borrow. For loans up to $3,000, the Industrial Loan Act caps the charges as shown below (about 10% a year plus the set fees). For larger amounts up to $5,000, the loan is a standard installment loan with an APR of 5.99% to 35.99% over up to 24 months, and it may include a service or origination fee. Either way, you see your exact APR, term, fees, and total before you sign.

ChargeMaximum allowed
Interest10% a year on the face amount
Loan fee8% of the first $600, plus 4% of the amount above $600
Monthly maintenance fee$3 per month

For example, on a $1,000 loan over 12 months you would pay about $100 in interest, a one-time loan fee of about $64, and $3 a month in maintenance. You always see your exact APR, monthly payment, and total before you sign.
