The Military Lending Act

Learning objectives

  • Gain an understanding of the Military Lending Act.

Course overview

In 2006, the federal government enacted the Military Lending Act, or MLA, which regulates what lenders can and can't do, when working with service members and their dependents. This act came as a result of lenders targeting military service members with predatory loans that had punishing interest rates, fees, and terms. In this course, we'll talk about the protections this act includes, go over who qualifies for it, and explore what types of loans are covered by the act.
