Choose a loan type by amount
PLS Cash Advance currently presents request amounts from $200 to $5,000. The ranges below are navigation guidance between our state loan guides — not statutory limits, eligibility rules, or a promise of approval.
Payday Loans in Oregon
Preferred routing for smaller short-term requests. Oregon payday law is defined primarily by a 31–60 day term and regulated pricing; $1,000 is an editorial handoff, not a statutory payday principal ceiling.
Installment Loans in Oregon
Preferred routing for longer multi-payment requests. Oregon DFR regulates personal consumer-finance loans of $50,000 or less; $5,000 is the current site offer boundary.
Amount and term limits
Oregon DFR regulates personal consumer-finance loans of $50,000 or less. PLS Cash Advance currently routes only $1,000–$5,000 to this installment guide.
Oregon DFR describes an installment loan as a loan longer than 60 days that requires periodic payments. The actual term depends on the contract and amount.
Interest, fees and repayment
For calendar year 2026, Oregon’s official consumer-finance discount-rate order sets the maximum permitted finance charge at 36% APR. HB 4116, effective June 5, 2026, also closed a federal rate-export loophole for consumer finance loans offered to Oregon residents.
Current Oregon DFR guidance states that the annual percentage rate, including interest and fees, may not exceed 36% for consumer finance loans.
Installment loans run longer than 60 days and require periodic payments. The lender must provide a loan document clearly stating fees and terms.
Rollovers, refinancing and early payment
- Rollover allowed?
- Not reduced to a yes/no rule
Consumer-finance installment loans are not governed by the payday two-rollover rule; refinancing depends on the applicable consumer-finance contract and statutes. - Prepayment penalty allowed?
- Not reduced to a yes/no rule
The current DFR installment guidance used for this dataset does not support a universal prepayment-penalty statement for every consumer-finance product in the $1,000–$5,000 range.
