Know the cash and repayment amounts in Iowa
Iowa includes fees in its check-face ceiling, making the amount deposited and the amount repaid different figures to compare before you accept.
One licensee and related parties may hold no more than two checks with combined face value up to $500. At maximum fees, one $500 check delivers $445 in cash.
A transaction may run up to 31 days. The fee is $15 on the first $100 of check face amount and $10 on subsequent $100 increments, prorated; the verified rule does not authorize a separate $1 database fee.
The same licensee cannot use another postdated-check transaction to repay, refinance or consolidate the debt. If repayment looks difficult, contact the lender before the due date and ask what arrangements it can offer.
