Section 725A.020 - Licensing requirement.


(b) A person may not act as an agent, broker or facilitator for making a payday loan or title loan unless the person obtains a license under ORS 725A.024, regardless of whether the principal that makes the payday loan or title loan must obtain a license under paragraph (a) of this subsection.
(2) If at the time a person made a payday loan or title loan the person did not have a license from the Director of the Department of Consumer and Business Services under ORS 725A.024, the payday loan or title loan is void, and the person, or a successor, assignee or affiliate of the person, may not deposit a borrower’s or consumer’s check, withdraw moneys from a borrower’s or consumer’s account or otherwise collect, receive or retain principal, interest, a fee or a charge related to or in connection with the payday loan or title loan.
(3) Subsection (1) of this section does not apply to a person that does not collect a fee or consideration in connection with a payday loan or title loan or an application for a payday loan or title loan and:

(b) Acts solely as an intermediary between the borrower or consumer and a lender or a person that conducts business as a broker or facilitator for a payday loan or title loan;
