Iowa Payday Loans

Currently, payday loans are legal in the state of Iowa. However, the state has very strict laws that regulate the payday loan industry. While most states require that a contract be given to potential borrowers that spell out the loan terms, Iowa takes it a step further. A contract given by a payday loan lender to a payday loan borrower must be presented in both English and Spanish, and must very clearly spell out the rights of the consumer. The contract that is given to the borrower must also provide a phone number to the regulatory office that governs payday loan companies in Iowa. Payday loan companies must also clearly state that the borrower will not be subject to criminal prosecution in the event that they are unable to pay back the loan. Conspicuous signage that says the same thing must be posted in the store.

Maximum Payday Loan Amount in Iowa

Payday lenders can lend up to $500 to borrowers.

Term and Rollover/Extensions

Payday loans must have a repayment term of 31 days. No rollovers or renewals of loans are permitted.

Maximum Interest Charged

Rather than use a percentage, lenders in Iowa are permitted to charge interest per $100. For a loan up to $100, the fee is $15. For any amount greater than $100, lenders are allowed to charge $10 per $100.
