§ 46-f. Limit on interest and other charges. Except as provided in article nine of the banking law, no person shall directly or indirectly receive or accept, whether by discount or otherwise, for the use and sale of his personal credit or for making or continuing any advance or loan of money (1) in anticipation of earnings assigned outright, or (2) on the security of an assignment of any earnings assigned as security, a greater sum than at the rate of eighteen per centum per annum on the amount of such loan or advance, either as a bonus, interest or otherwise, or under the guise of a charge for investigating the status of a person applying for such loan or advance, or drawing of papers or other service in connection with such loan or advance, except such charges as are now permitted by section 5-531 of the general obligations law. Any assignment, whether outright or as security, which is made wholly or partly in consideration of or as security for a loan or advance which violates this section, shall be void, and invalid for any purpose whatsoever. Every person, firm, corporation, director, agent, officer or member thereof who shall violate any provision of this section, directly or indirectly, or assent to such violation shall be guilty of a misdemeanor.
