Moreover, with the reducing trust in payday loans with 3-digit interest, many borrowers are fearing to take another new payday loan, so to increase the trust in payday loans, some payday lenders are agreeing with government bill to standardize interest rate.

In addition, it applies to a wide array of businesses, and voids any contract that exceeds the rate cap.
