Payday loans are small-dollar, short-term, unsecured loans that borrowers promise to repay out of their next paycheck or regular income payment. Payday loans are usually priced at a fixed-dollar fee, which represents the finance charge to the borrower. Because these loans have such short terms to maturity, the cost of borrowing, expressed as an annual percentage rate, can range from 300 percent to 1,000 percent, or more. An example of a typical loan process for payday lending is described in the adjacent box.
How Payday Loans Work
In return for the small loan ? usually less than $500 (See Chart 1) ? the borrower provides the lender with a check or debit authorization for the amount of the loan plus the finance charge. The lender agrees to defer presentment of the check until the customer?s next payday. At the next payday, the customer may redeem the check by paying the loan amount plus the finance charge, or the lender may cash the check. In some cases, the borrower may extend the loan by paying only the finance charge and writing a new check.
