A 36% cap since 2009 keeps approval realistic for bad credit, though credit history factors in more.
What New Hampshire's Rules Mean for a Bad-Credit Applicant
New Hampshire has capped advances at 36% APR since 2009, with a $500 limit.
What Actually Gets Checked
A 60-day lockout applies after an outstanding advance, but first-time bad-credit applicants can typically still qualify based on income.
| Factor | Rule |
|---|---|
| Rate cap | 36% APR (since 2009) |
| Underwriting basis | Credit history + income |
