Higher Interest Rate Faced By Small Borrowers Friday
Small borrowers under 300 dollars face a higher interest rate starting Friday as a legislative act takes effect. The law limits service charges, expands banking commissioner oversight, and sets new rates: three and a half percent monthly for the first 150 and two percent for the next 150, reversing the prior flat rate. The fighting over the measure spanned sessions, with supporters calling two percent insufficient and opponents warning of usury.
