Installment Loans in Idaho
Idaho separately licenses regulated consumer lenders for installment borrowing. The Idaho Credit Code allows consumer-loan finance charges at contractually agreed rates subject to the Code’s licensing, charge and disclosure rules, so the page does not assert a universal installment APR ceiling.

Under Idaho Code §28-42-201, the loan finance charge for a consumer loan may be calculated at the rate or rates agreed to by the parties, subject to the Idaho Credit Code’s other charge, disclosure and licensing provisions.
Regulated consumer loans may use periodic installment repayment under the written agreement and Idaho Credit Code requirements.
Rollovers, refinancing and early payment

Ordinary renewal/refinancing depends on the consumer-loan agreement and Idaho Credit Code; the payday-specific three-renewal rule does not define this installment product. - Prepayment penalty allowed?

A regulated consumer credit transaction generally may be prepaid in full at any time without penalty, subject to the real-property-secured exception in §28-42-306.
Idaho borrower protections
- Regulated consumer lenders must hold the appropriate Idaho license.
- The agreement must disclose the applicable finance charge and other required credit terms.
- Covered consumer credit generally may be prepaid in full without penalty, subject to the statutory real-property exception.
- The $5,000 endpoint is the PLS Cash Advance selector boundary, not an Idaho statutory maximum.
