Federal Payday Lending Rules That Apply in Missouri

Federal regulations, such as those from the CFPB and the Military Lending Act, apply in addition to state laws, providing an additional layer of consumer protection.

CFPB Payday Rule — repeat withdrawal attempts: The CFPB issued a regulation adopting a two-strikes-and-you’re-out rule for covered lenders. Under that rule, after two tries to withdraw money from a borrower’s account have failed, covered lenders can’t try again unless the borrower specifically authorizes another attempt. Effective March 30, 2025. Read the CFPB payday rule.

Missouri Installment Loan Rules: FAQ

Are personal installment loans legal in Missouri?

Yes. Personal installment loans are legal in Missouri and regulated under RSMo Section 408.510. Lenders must hold a state license to make these loans. A licensed lender has to follow the state's limits on rates, loan size and fees, and disclose your APR, finance charge and full payment schedule before you sign.

What fees can an installment lender charge in Missouri?

Missouri caps loan fees separately from interest under RSMo Section 408.510. Origination fee: 10% of principal; max $100. Late fee: 5% of installment; max $50. Anything a lender charges beyond these has to be itemised in your agreement, so compare the total finance charge and not just the advertised rate.

Are payday loans also legal in Missouri?

Yes. Alongside installment lending, Missouri permits payday loans under Mo. Rev. Stat. § 408.500. A payday loan there is capped at $500. A payday loan is a single lump-sum repayment tied to your next pay date, which makes it a different and usually far more expensive product than an installment loan repaid over months.

Are car title loans legal in Missouri?

Yes. Missouri permits car title lending under MO Rev Stat § 367.512 (2025); MO Rev Stat § 408.555 (2025) at rates of No statutory cap (market rates commonly ~200%-300% APR). A title loan is secured against your vehicle, so falling behind can cost you the car. An unsecured personal installment loan puts no vehicle at risk, which is worth weighing before you pledge a title.
