State-specific decision hinge

Kansas is not just a $500/15% page: loan-frequency state is an eligibility input and can block a transaction below the amount cap.

Current state rule table

State field	Current rule
Maximum cash advance	$500
Fee	Up to 15% of cash advance
Term	7 to 30 days
Outstanding	No more than 2 loans at one time with lender and related interest
Frequency	No more than 3 loans to one borrower within 30 calendar days

Product scenario

A $300 cash advance at the maximum finance charge produces a $45 fee and a $345 scheduled total before any post-maturity event.

If the state/product check fails

Do not suggest an unlicensed online lender or an out-of-state workaround.
Route to bank / credit union / PAL / lawful installment alternatives where available.
If the issue is an existing unpaid loan, show repayment-plan / hardship rights before new credit.
If the payment would erase the user's safety buffer, lower the amount or return a no-borrow outcome.

Product objections / FAQ

Does the state maximum mean I should borrow that amount? No. The legal ceiling is not an affordability recommendation. Are online lenders exempt from state rules? Payday Hex does not treat an online channel as an exemption. The lender must be legally permitted to serve the user under the applicable framework. How fresh are these rules? Sources below were checked on 6 Sep 2026. Volatile lender availability and any state changes must be refreshed immediately before publication.

Cost	Amount received, required fees, APR and total repayment	Only the payment size is shown
Timing	Decision, release and bank-posting stages	“Instant” is presented as guaranteed
Repayment	Exact dates, method and late-payment consequences	The payment reopens the same cash gap
