New York Payday Loans
Every state has the discretion to allow or not allow short-term loans, like cash advances. Though there is no official outlawing of payday loans in New York, the state's laws make it difficult for many lenders to operate. The small loan rate cap is a 25 percent APR per year, which is much lower than the standard rates that payday lenders apply. In order to make short term funds available to consumers, cash advance companies generally have an APR standard of at least 300 percent. Because payday lenders cannot stay afloat based on New York's laws, there are no specific laws that address things like number of rollovers or loan terms.
Though payday lenders have a hard time staying afloat with New York's laws, lenders are still located throughout the state. The top two cities are Albany and Rochester.
