Maryland’s Consumer Loan Law requires licensed lenders to limit loan proceeds to $25,000. Allowable interest rate charges also vary depending on the loan amount.
For loans of $2,000 or less, licensed lenders can charge:
For loans exceeding $2,000 but less than or equal to $3,500, the maximum interest rate is 1.75% per month. For loans exceeding $3,500 but less than or equal to $5,000, the maximum interest rate is 1.5% per month. For loans exceeding $5,000, the maximum interest rate is 1.35% per month.
Loan terms are also regulated:
After six months, licensed lenders can only charge 6% per year on the remaining balance if a loan remains in default.
