Flexible Credit Lenders

Flex loan means a loan pursuant to a written agreement between a licensee and a customer establishing an open-end credit plan under which the licensee contemplates repeated noncommercial loans for personal, family, or household purposes, that:  (A) may be unsecured or secured by personal property;  (B) may be without fixed maturities or limitation as to the length of the term; and (C) are subject to prepayment in whole or in part at any time without penalty.  A person shall be deemed to be engaged in the business of making flex loans in this state if the person induces a consumer, while located in this state, to enter into a flex loan plan in this state through the use of the internet, facsimile, telephone, or other means.  A separate license shall be required for each location from which the business of making flex loans is conducted.
