Looking for a payday advance loan? In order to make payday loans in New York, an entity must be either a bank or it must be licensed as a small loan company. No entities licensed by the Banking Department engage in this particular type of business in New York. However, out of state companies are making this type of loan.

Non-bank companies that offer payday loans in New York, even if licensed as a Licensed Lender under Article 9 of the Banking Law, may not charge an annual interest rate that is in excess of 25%. Banks that offer these loans may export the interest rate permitted in their home state. Banks are permitted by federal law to offer a single maximum rate of interest to customers across the United States. However, banks that choose to offer this type of loan product at exorbitant interest rates are blatantly abusing this authority. These types of actions, when judged in the court of public opinion, can lead to a groundswell of outrage resulting in reputational harm and safety and soundness problems.

Compare different loan packages and you will see that loan packages are not all alike. Some are much better than others.
