Notwithstanding the provisions of any other laws, any person doing business under and as permitted by any law of this state or of the United States relating to lending institutions is authorized, in connection with the making of any loan, to contract for the accrual of interest, at a rate of interest, equal to or less than the note or contractual rate of interest, on unpaid interest accruing during previous billing or payment periods.
