Cash Advance Loans in Missouri

How Payday Loans Work in Missouri

In Missouri, payday loans are licensed and regulated as small loans. You write a check or authorize a debit for the amount you borrow plus the fee, and it is due on your next payday, between 14 and 31 days out.

A single loan can be up to $500, and Missouri sets a firm limit on the total cost: the interest and fees over the life of a loan and all of its renewals can never add up to more than 75% of the amount you borrowed.

Every lender must be licensed by the Missouri Division of Finance, which oversees payday lending and handles consumer complaints.

What a Payday Loan Costs in Missouri

Missouri does not cap the fee on a single loan, but it caps the total interest and fees over the life of a loan and all renewals at 75% of the amount borrowed.

These examples assume a representative fee of about $15 per $100.

How Missouri Law Protects You as a Borrower

• A $500 loan limit. A single payday loan in Missouri cannot be more than $500, and a lender cannot have more than $500 in loans out to you at one time.
• A 75% total-cost cap. The interest and fees over the life of a loan and all of its renewals can never add up to more than 75% of the amount you borrowed. On a $500 loan that is at most $375.
• Renewals are limited. A loan can be renewed at most six times, and each renewal requires you to pay down at least 5% of the original balance.
• A next-day cancel window. If you change your mind, repaying by the close of the next business day means you owe no interest or fees.
• No jail, no surprise garnishment. You cannot be jailed for an unpaid payday loan, and wages can be garnished only after a lender sues you and wins a court judgment.
