Virginia Personal Loan Laws and Regulations in (VA)

(last updated 01/01/2018)
§ 6.2-1520. Rate of interest; late charges; processing fees.

A. A licensee may charge and receive interest on loans of:

1. Not more than $2,500, at a single annual rate not to exceed 36 percent; and

2. More than $2,500, at such single annual rate as shall be stated in the loan contract.

The annual rate of interest shall be charged only upon principal balances outstanding from time to time. Interest shall not be charged on an add-on basis and shall not be compounded or paid, deducted or received in advance. For the purpose of calculating interest under this section, a year may be any period of time consisting of 360 or 365 days.

B. A licensee may impose a late charge for failure to make timely payment of any installment due on a debt, which late charge shall not exceed five percent of the amount of such installment payment. The late charge shall be specified in the loan contract between the lender and the borrower. For purposes of this section, "timely payment" means a payment made by the date fixed for payment or within a period of seven calendar days after such fixed date.

C. A licensee may charge and receive a processing fee, charged on the principal amount of the loan, for processing the loan contract. The processing fee shall be stated in the loan contract. Such processing fee shall be deemed to constitute interest charged on the principal amount of the loan for purposes of determining whether the interest charged on a loan of not more than $2,500 exceeds the 36 percent annual interest rate limitation imposed by subdivision A 1.

Money: many times that’s what it takes to turn your dreams into reality. Whether you want to open a farm stand in Markham or take a vacation at Virginia Beach, or you aspire to be a gymnast like Gabby Douglas, or go into acting like Rob Lowe, a personal loan could help get you on your way to making it happen.

Sometimes life takes unexpected turns and you go off course. If you finally have time to finish your degree, a personal loan could pay for the courses you need at the University of Virginia. Or maybe you’ve been putting off resealing your driveway in Deerfield. When you’ve had enough of waiting for the right time to take that trip into the Blue Ridge Mountains – a personal loan can get you on your way.

Have you always dreamed of doing a historical tour of Virginia: visiting Monticello, Mount Vernon, Colonial Williamsburg, and the Jamestown Settlement? Or maybe you’re more into modern day attractions and want to hit the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum, the Virginia Safari Park, and the Adventure Park at Sandy River Retreat. If you’re a nature lover, a week on the shores of Chincoteague could be something you’ve been saving for – but just never managed to get enough money together to do it. A personal loan could put an end to your waiting.

Personal loans can also help you get the home improvements you need. Everyone wants to feel good about where they live. So many people wait until it’s time to sell to finally take care of those repairs. No one wants to look at old, dull hardwood floors. With a personal loan, you could find a floor refinisher in Fairfax and enjoy the shine. A new refrigerator in Reston could give your kitchen just the facelift it needs. How nice would it be to pull into your driveway and see a gorgeous green lawn in Leesburg?
