Borrowing rules in Walnut Hill
- Traditional payday loans are effectively unavailable in Illinois because state law caps the APR on all consumer loans at 36%, counting most fees.
- Rate limit: No consumer loan made in Illinois may carry an APR above 36%. The APR is figured the way the federal Military Lending Act does it, so most fees count toward the limit.
- Fees: Because the 36% cap is an all-in rate, fees such as application, participation and credit insurance charges count toward it. A lender cannot add them on top of 36%.
- Lenders must be licensed by the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation (IDFPR), Division of Financial Institutions and must disclose the APR and total cost before you sign.
