The Hawaii promissory note templates can be downloaded in .PDF or Word format. Promissory notes are written agreements that provide an overview of a loan’s various terms (such as the principal sum, interest rate, payment schedule, late fee details, etc.). There are two different types of notes; secured and unsecured. Secured notes have the backing of assets pledged by the borrower as collateral. Should the borrower default on the note/loan, the lender has the right to take possession of the assets. Unsecured notes/loans are not backed by any collateral and typically have higher interest rates.

Usury Rate – Under H.R.S. 478-2 (Hawaii Revised Statutes Chapter 478) the maximum interest rate is 10% if no written contract is established. Otherwise, 12% is the general usury limit, and 10%  is the limit on judgments.
