No state rate cap and a simple $500 structure keep approval income-based.
What Missouri's Rules Mean for a Bad-Credit Applicant
Missouri sets no state APR cap, with a typical $500 maximum advance — approval is generally based on income rather than a credit-score cutoff.
What Actually Gets Checked
Renewals require paying down principal each time, but that's a repayment rule, not a credit-eligibility factor.
| Factor | Rule |
|---|---|
| State APR cap | None |
| Credit-score cutoff | None |
Verify current rules with the Missouri Division of Finance before applying with any lender — this summary is for general information only, not legal advice.
