The rules for title loans in Missouri
Title lending in Missouri is overseen by the Missouri Division of Finance. These are the main points of state law.
MOMissouriTitle loans allowed
- License
Title Loan license under Mo. Rev. Stat. 367.500-367.533, issued by the Missouri Division of Finance; applicant must maintain at least $75,000 in capital and post a $20,000 surety bond per location
- Regulator
- Rates
Title lenders contract for simple interest and fees under 408.100 and 408.140 (367.515); 408.100 allows interest at rates agreed to by the parties, so there is no numeric APR cap.
On the third and later renewals the borrower must reduce principal by 10%.
- The law
Mo. Rev. Stat. Chapter 367, sections 367.500 to 367.533 (Title Loan Act); licensing qualifications at 367.506 and 367.509; interest and fees at 367.515

What to check first in Missouri
Look past the monthly payment
Three numbers show what a loan really costs: the APR, the finance charge and the total of payments. If an offer doesn't feel right, you can walk away. And there's no fee for paying it off early.
Make sure the lender is licensed
Missouri requires companies that offer title loans to hold a Title Loan license. Before you sign, you can look up the company's license with the Missouri Division of Finance.
Where to report a problem
If you run into trouble with a lender, report it to the Missouri Division of Finance. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau takes complaints too.

Loan proceeds are intended primarily for personal, family and household purposes. Minimum loan amounts vary by state. You must be able to demonstrate the ability to repay the loan.

If you are offered a loan, you can review the complete offer before accepting it. Providing your information does not guarantee approval.
