On May 4, the Oklahoma governor signed SB 1687, which adjusts the amounts a supervised lender may charge in lieu of a loan finance charge on loans carrying principals of $3,000 or less. Previously, the principal limit was $300. The amendments outline specific allowable loan charges based on principal amount that may be made on qualifying loans. Additionally, for loans greater than $1,620 but not more than $3,000, lenders are allowed an acquisition charge for making the loan that may not exceed one-tenth of the amount of the principal. The threshold rate changes are effective July 1.
