What Hawaii installment repayment includes
Hawaii replaced the former payday product with licensed small-dollar installment loans; compare both interest and maintenance charges.
Licensed replacement principal can be up to $1,500. Terms must be at least two months for $500 or less, or at least four months above $500, and no more than 12 months; a month can be at least 28 days for the minimum-term test.
Yearly interest on unpaid principal is capped at 36%, plus monthly maintenance up to $25 below $300, $30 from $300 through $699.99, or $35 at $700 or more. Total loan charges cannot exceed 50% of principal; the interest ceiling is not an all-in APR ceiling.
One replacement loan is allowed with a lender and covered related entities, subject to the renewal exception. If payments become difficult, contact the lender about your account; no special hardship payment-plan entitlement is established in these facts.
