The rules in full

Payday loans

Rate cap
No general statutory APR cap for deferred deposit loans or high-interest loans under NRS 604A; APR is set by contract. NRS 604A regulates term length, extensions, collection limits, and (since AB 118, 2023) requires an ability-to-repay analysis so payments generally cannot exceed 25% of the borrower's gross monthly income. Original term of a high-interest/deferred-deposit loan must not exceed 35 days (up to 90 days if fully amortizing installment structure with no balloon payment and no extensions).
Fees
Fee limitations exist in NRS 604A.5031, 604A.5061, and 604A.5094; no proceeds of a new high-interest/deferred-deposit loan may be used to pay off an outstanding high-interest loan except under specified conditions (NRS 604A.5057).
License
Deferred Deposit Loan / High-Interest Loan license under NRS Chapter 604A, issued by the Nevada Financial Institutions Division (FID).
