New Jersey Payday Loans
Though payday loans are not outlawed in New Jersey, the laws that apply to these lenders essentially keep them from operating in the state. The annual rate cap of 30 percent on small loans is too low to be lucrative for payday lenders that normally have APRs in excess of 300 percent. A cash advance serves specific financial needs and as a result, come with higher rates than the rest of the lending in the industry. The usury laws in New Jersey also require lenders, like those in New Brunswick and Newark, to stop lending to people that default more than three times within one year.
