Payday Loans in Pine Knot: the short answer
Installment loans in Pine Knot
Need more than $600 or more time to repay? Kentucky also allows consumer installment loans from licensed lenders, repaid in fixed monthly payments. Licensed lenders may charge up to 3% a month (about 36% a year) on loans of $5,000 or less, 2.42% a month on $5,000 to $10,000 and 2.25% a month above $10,000, fees included.
- A payday loan fits a small, one-off gap you can repay in full on your next payday.
- An installment loan fits a larger amount or a budget that needs smaller monthly payments; check the total interest before you sign.
- Installment lenders need a license: Consumer loan company license from the Kentucky Department of Financial Institutions (KRS 286.4).
Illustration only. Your lender must disclose the APR, payment schedule and total cost before you sign.
