Section 22452 Of Article 5. Open-end Loan Programs From California Financial Code >> Division 9. >> Chapter 2. >> Article 5.
22452
. Subject to the written approval of the commissioner of the
licensee's plan of business for making open-end loans as not being
misleading or deceptive and subject to regulations the commissioner
may adopt with respect to open-end loans under Section 22150, a
licensee may make open-end loans pursuant to this article and may
contract for and receive thereon charges as set forth in Sections
22303, 22304, and 22308. These charges may be calculated on an amount
not exceeding the greater of:
(a) The actual daily unpaid balances of the open-end account in
the billing cycle for which the charge is made, in which case
one-thirtieth of the monthly rate may be charged for each day the
unpaid balance is outstanding.
(b) The average daily unpaid balance of the open-end account in
the billing cycle for which the charge is made, which is the sum of
the amount unpaid each day during that cycle divided by the number of
days in that cycle. The amount unpaid on a day is determined by
adding to any balance unpaid as of the beginning of that day all
advances and other debits and deducting all payments and other
credits made or received as of that day. The billing cycle shall be
monthly. A billing cycle is monthly if the closing date of the cycle
is the same date each month or does not vary by more than four days
from the regular date.
This section does not apply to any open-end loan of a bona fide
principal amount of five thousand dollars ($5,000) or more as
determined in accordance with Section 22467.
