Must read: Be cautious of high fees
Although there is a cap on the financing fee a lender is permitted to charge, it won’t save you much. 20% of a loan of $100 is $20 — which means that if you borrow $500 from a lender, you’ll be paying back $600. And while a payday loan can last as long as 60 days, in many cases, a lender will likely set your due date within a couple weeks after you borrow.
This means you may have trouble repaying your loan, especially if you decide to take out more than one at a time. It may be worthwhile to look into some short-term loan alternatives before you commit to a loan.
Bottom line
North Dakota regulates payday loans to keep residents of Bismarck — as well as other cities throughout the state — safe from extremely high APRs. However, you’ll still have to pay up to 20% of your loan amount in the form of financing fees. Still, there are a number of licensed lenders out there that may be able to offer you a competitive rate.
If you want to refinance or roll over a payday loan, you’ll be charged 20% of the remaining loan amount in fees. This should be a last-resort option due to the high cost, and you may only do it once per loan.
You can have any number of payday loans out at once provided the total amount isn’t more than $600. However, keep in mind that the more you borrow, the more fees you’ll have to repay. Try to limit the number of loans you borrow at a single time to prevent fees and other charges from piling up.
North Dakota requires residents to wait three days before taking out an additional short-term loans.
