§ 7-1-292 — Interest and fees

Any bank may take, receive, reserve, and charge interest and fees on any loan, advance of money, or forbearance to enforce the collection of money at rates not exceeding the limits set by the laws of this state. Whenever such laws authorize a special interest or fee rate with respect to a designated type of loan, then a bank may charge that special interest or fee on loans of that type made by it. Whenever such laws authorize a person or a corporation other than a bank to charge a special interest or fee rate with respect to a designated type of loan, then a bank may charge such rate or fee on loans made by it which would qualify as the designated type of loan if made by the person or corporation so authorized without any requirement for the bank to obtain any license, qualification, or permit.
