Texas Payday Loan Businesses – Take a CAB!

Texas Payday Loan Businesses – Take a CAB!

by The CAB Man Texas on September 2, 2011

What is a CAB?  Well, if you are a payday loan business in Texas, it’s now you starting January 1, 2012.

The title CAB stands for Credit Access Business, and along with the name change comes many changes for payday loan businesses. The current CSO (Credit Services Organization) model will evolve next year thus transitioning all payday loan businesses into CABs, which requires these businesses to comply with new regulations. Understanding the new regulations is vital to continuing your payday loan business.

Licensing is one portion of the CAB transition. Under Texas House Bill 2594, which addresses the new licensing process, current CSOs will be required to attain a CAB license and will be subject to a thorough review.   Applicants will undergo reviews not just of their business operation, but also of the principals involved with the CAB’s whose personal and business background will be requested.

What else is included in the CAB licensing process? A new application and detailed reports must be submitted to the state and an approval must be obtained in order for current businesses to operate legally after January 1, 2012. In addition, all Texas payday loan businesses must file quarterly reports, with the first being due April 2012.  The reports will summarize the prior three months of transactions and will be reviewed by the OCCC (Office of Consumer Credit Commissioner), which is the new governing body of the industry in Texas.  This process is new, it is an unknown, and will take some thought.  Are you ready to take this on?  In addition to the day-to-day operations of your payday loan business, you must create a plan to ensure compliance with the OCCC, which is a big undertaking.

The good news? CAB Consulting and Brokerage understands all the details required for your payday loan business to transition from a CSO to a CAB.  They’ve been in the payday loan business since 2003 and have recently participated in the rule making process at the Capitol in Austin to ensure thorough understanding of the CAB model and to voice preferences and concerns about proposed rules.

Don’t get bogged down by the details – contact CAB Consulting and Brokerage at 214-293-8676.   Let them inform you, handle the details of your transition, and execute the process so you can continue to do business in Texas.
