If you’re in Louisiana and need short‑term funds, PDLoans247 can help you explore options online. We’re a loan‑connection service, not a direct lender—we securely pass your request to our network so you can review an offer from a participating, state‑regulated lender when available. You decide whether to accept the terms. Funding timing varies by lender and bank; next‑business‑day deposits are common for approved requests.
How PDLoans247 works
Submit a short, secure online form.
If matched, review the lender’s terms (APR, fees, repayment) before you consent.
If you e‑sign, the lender sends funds directly to your bank account; timing depends on verification and bank cutoffs.
PDLoans247 does not charge borrowers a fee for the matching service; participating lenders may compensate us.
Louisiana rules to know (as of September 23, 2025)
Amounts and annual “maximum outstanding principal”:
Deferred presentment (payday) transactions: Act 510 (HB 582) raised the amount paid to borrowers from $350 to $700 (effective August 1, 2025). The prior $45 cap on fees was removed. The law now requires the Office of Financial Institutions (OFI) to publish a CPI‑based “maximum outstanding principal balance” annually. For September 1, 2025–August 31, 2026, the maximum outstanding principal is $720 for deferred presentment and $360 for small loans.
Term and structure: A deferred presentment transaction is a written agreement where the lender accepts your check or electronic authorization and agrees to hold it for up to 30 days before presentment.
Fees and post‑maturity interest: Louisiana law permits a fee up to 16.75% of the face amount of the check (or the equivalent rate for a small loan). If a loan remains unpaid at maturity, licensees may charge up to 36% per year for up to one year after the due date, then up to 18% per year thereafter. Note: Act 510 removed the old $45 total‑fee cap effective August 1, 2025. Always review the lender’s Truth‑in‑Lending disclosures.
Rollovers and partial payments: Rollovers are prohibited. A licensee must accept partial payments of $50 or more, and may accept a 25% payment plus fees and enter a new transaction for the remaining balance. Lenders may not threaten criminal prosecution for nonpayment.
Extended Payment Plan (EPP): Once every 12 months, you may request an EPP before your due date. It must allow at least four substantially equal installments, no additional interest or fees during the plan, and the first installment is due no sooner than 30 days unless you agree to align with your income schedule.
Licensing matters: Loans made or arranged without the required Louisiana license are null, void, unenforceable, and uncollectible; the creditor forfeits all proceeds and fees.
Credit reporting: Act 510 prohibits licensed lenders from reporting negative information about their customers to any credit bureau. (ofi.la.gov)

Costs, timing, and repayment
Rates and fees are set by the lender and shown in federal TILA disclosures before you agree. Given the short terms, costs can be high—compare carefully. (law.justia.com)
Funding is not guaranteed. If approved, many lenders fund as soon as the next business day; exact timing depends on verification and your bank.
Late or missed payments can lead to added costs (e.g., allowed post‑maturity interest) and may affect your credit standing with your lender. Borrow only what you can repay on time. (law.justia.com)
Responsible alternatives in Louisiana
Credit union Payday Alternative Loans (PALs): Federal credit unions can offer PALs I ($200–$1,000, 1–6 months) and PALs II (up to $2,000, up to 12 months), with safeguards like no rollovers and capped fees. Check local credit unions for availability. (mycreditunion.gov)
211 Louisiana: Call 211 to be connected with local help for rent, utilities, food, and other assistance across the state.
Utility‑bill help: Entergy Louisiana lists programs such as LIHEAP and The Power to Care; eligibility and funding windows vary.
Beginner tips if you’re set on applying
Borrow the minimum you need and plan repayment before you apply; rollovers aren’t allowed, so missing the due date can get costly fast. If you’re struggling, ask for an Extended Payment Plan before your due date.
Read the total payback, not just the fee. Louisiana permits post‑maturity interest if you miss the deadline—know the schedule. (law.justia.com)
Verify the lender’s Louisiana license and avoid “guaranteed approval” or unlicensed offers (unlicensed transactions are void under state law).
If you need bill relief rather than cash, check 211/LIHEAP and your utility’s assistance programs first; a lower‑cost plan may solve the immediate problem.
