Vermont's usury cap sits well below what a payday-style credit-light product needs to be profitable.

Bad-credit applicants here typically face more credit-based underwriting through personal-loan lenders.
| Factor | Rule |
|---|---|
| Traditional bad-credit product | Effectively unavailable |
| Underwriting basis | Credit history weighted more |
