The 36% all-in cap moved lenders toward installment underwriting, so decisions are fast but not always instant.
What Determines Your Decision Speed in Colorado
Colorado's 2018 voter-approved 36% cap shifted the market toward installment-style products, which typically involve a brief underwriting step.
What Can Slow a Decision Down
Most decisions still come back same-day, just not always the split-second automated response you'd see with a simpler advance structure.
| Factor | Rule |
|---|---|
| Rate cap | 36% APR, all-in |
| Typical decision speed | Same-day, often within minutes |
