Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about legitimacy and your data.
Is my promissory note valid?
A promissory note that states the amount, interest, and repayment terms and is signed by both parties is a legally binding document, and ours are built to follow current state usury and lending rules. Many lenders and individuals have successfully used them for personal loans and family financing. That said, we are not a law firm, and if your loan involves business operations, complex terms, or legal concerns, consulting an attorney is wise.
Is my data secure?
Payments are processed by Stripe (PCI compliant). All data is encrypted in transit (TLS) and at rest. Your loan data and PDF auto-delete from our servers after 5 days, so we don't store personal or financial information long-term. Your note is also emailed to you at checkout, so you keep a permanent backup copy in your own inbox.
How quickly will I get my promissory note?
Instantly. As soon as your payment goes through, your completed PDF is ready to download, and we also email a copy to you right away so you have it on file.
What transactions work well with our documents?
Our promissory notes work great for personal loans between friends or family, small business lending, installment payment plans, and demand notes. They are ideal when both parties have agreed on loan terms and need a clear, state-specific document to formalize the arrangement.
State-Specific Promissory Notes for Every Lending Situation
A promissory note is one of the most important documents in any lending relationship. It establishes a legally binding promise from a borrower to repay a specific amount of money to a lender under defined terms, covering everything from interest rates and payment schedules to default remedies and late fees. Every state in the US has its own usury laws that set maximum allowable interest rates, and violating these limits can result in severe penalties including forfeiture of all interest or even the entire principal.
For example, California limits general loans to 10% annual interest for personal loans and 7% when no rate is specified in writing. New York caps interest at 16% and considers anything above 25% criminal usury. Texas allows up to 10% for written agreements but has different rules for commercial transactions. Florida sets its general usury limit at 18% with criminal penalties above 25%. These differences matter because a promissory note that does not account for your state's specific usury laws can be unenforceable or expose the lender to legal liability.
Your Promissory Note generates state-specific, professionally formatted documents that comply with your jurisdiction's usury limits and legal requirements. Whether you are lending money to a family member, financing a vehicle sale, structuring a business loan, or formalizing any other debt, our platform helps you create a compliant promissory note quickly and affordably.
