Why Payday Loans Are Not Available in North Carolina

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.

How Much an Installment Loan Costs in North Carolina

North Carolina caps the rate on a licensed installment loan, with lower rates on larger balances. Here is how the tiers work.

Loan amountMaximum interest rate
Up to $4,00033% a year
$4,000 to $8,00024% a year on the part above $4,000
Above $8,00018% a year on the part above $8,000

A one-time processing fee of $30 applies to loans of $3,000 or less. 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.
