Answers, tradeoffs and next steps

Use the sections below to evaluate fit, not to predict approval.

Louisiana requires face amount and cash received to be shown separately

The deferred-presentment definition describes the amount paid to the consumer after the fee is withheld. Payday Hex therefore shows face amount, statutory fee and net cash as three separate values instead of calling them all the ‘loan amount.’ LA_35783

The 16.75% ceiling is applied to the face amount

For deferred presentment, Louisiana caps the fee at 16.75% of the face amount of the check. The state calculator uses that base explicitly so users can audit the fee math. LA_35784

Deferred presentment and the statutory small-loan definition are not merged

Louisiana separately defines a small loan of $350 or less with a term of 60 days or less. Payday Hex keeps that product distinction visible when routing a need that does not fit the deferred-presentment path. LA_35783

A simple fee-only rollover is not treated as a normal renewal option

The state’s prohibited-acts section restricts renewals/rollovers and describes a specific partial-payment/new-balance structure. The page uses the current statutory rule rather than a generic rollover module. LA_35786

State fieldCurrent rule
Deferred-presentment amount paid to consumerMay not exceed $700 under current definition
Deferred-presentment holding periodUp to 30 days
Maximum fee16.75% of face amount of the check
Small-loan definition$350 or less, term 60 days or less
RolloverLicensee may not renew/roll over as a simple fee-only extension; statute allows a specific partial-payment/new-balance structure

Product scenario

For a $300 face amount at the 16.75% maximum fee, the fee is $50.25. Because Louisiana’s deferred-presentment definition describes paying the check amount less the fee, the cash received and face amount must be shown separately.

Product objections / FAQ

Can Payday Hex guarantee a lender is available in this state? No. Live availability requires current provider and state-license evidence.

Are these state rules permanent? No. State law and regulator guidance can change; the page carries a source-check date and must be refreshed.

Does the maximum legal amount mean I should borrow that much? No. The affordability/paycheck tool can recommend a smaller amount or no borrowing.
