A 20% fee cap and database check don't factor credit score into approval.
What North Dakota's Rules Mean for a Bad-Credit Applicant
North Dakota caps fees at 20% of the amount advanced; approval is generally based on income, not credit score.
What Actually Gets Checked
A 3-business-day cooling-off period applies before a new consecutive advance once your aggregate outstanding balance hits $600 — a timing rule for repeat borrowers, not a credit factor.
| Factor | Rule |
|---|---|
| Fee cap | 20% of amount advanced |
| Credit-score cutoff | None |
