Usury Rate

The legal rate of interest is 5%. Parties may agree to a different rate in a written agreement, subject to limitations that depend on the identity of the lender.

By Type (2)

Secured Promissory Note – Provides the lender with a layer of security that goes into effect if the borrower defaults on the loaned balance. The security consists of an item that the borrower owns (such as a home, vehicle, or boat) that is given to the lender to help cover the remaining unpaid balance.

Unsecured Promissory Note – Does not include security, resulting in an increase in the amount of risk the lender is faced with. Lenders should take extra time to screen potential borrowers to help ensure they will be responsible and worthy borrowers to minimize the chance of default.
