This morning I noticed at several store front pdls that they have a sign posted saying "We now do signature loans". They are still writing pdls, so how can they claim them to be signature loans? I always thought that a signature loan is a loan that with your signature, you promise to pay back. And with a pdl, you sign the contract stating you agree to pay back. Is this their way of getting around the deferred presentment act?


You already know the difference.

A loan for which no collateral is pledged is called a signature loan. The repayment plan is signed by the borrower before taking the loan.

A payday loan or a paycheck advance is a small or short term loan given to the borrower and is to be paid back in the next payday.

If you speak with the AG or the DFI, they will say that a company giving out payday loans can do signature loans also. It's one of the many products in their showcase. The important part is that they have to be a licensed business.
