History

Established in 2008.

A PAWN SHOP is a lender of cash.

But a Pawn Shop’smain business is lending money.

Before a Pawn Shop provides cash to its customer

they discuss the details of the collateral (or Pawn),

the item (s) the customer leaves with the Pawn Shop

to secure the loan. (In the case of Chicago Pawn

Brokers, those include gemstones, fine jewelry and

timepieces, and precious metals). They agree on the

amount of the loan, the date the loan will come due,

and interest rate the customer will pay when retrieving

the merchandise.

State law controls some of those details, including a requirement that customers

provide government-​issued proof of identification (like a driver’s license or state ID

card). The Pawn Shop makes its own decisions on others.

If the loan is not repaid or extended on schedule, the Pawn Shop takes ownership of

the pawned merchandise, and is free to sell it to others. Unlike other loan sources,

Pawn Shops are not required to report defaults to credit bureaus, however.
