Welcome to Our Site!
The Consumer Finance Division (CFD) licenses and regulates the business activities of all companies, excluding depository institutions or insurance companies, that make consumer loans which have annual percentage rates exceeding 12% and are not secured by real property or a residential dwelling.
Entities that are involved solely in retail sales agreement transactions are not required to be licensed by the CFD.
Licenses are issued and regulated pursuant to The South Carolina Consumer Protection Code, Title 37, and, in some instances, The Consumer Finance Act, Title 34 Chapter 29.
Again, welcome to our site. We appreciate your interest in our office,
Ronald Bodvake
Commissioner of Consumer Finance
