Are there any restrictions on advertising of financial instruments?

Yes, there are restrictions on advertising of financial instruments in Kansas. The Kansas Uniform Consumer Credit Code (KUCCC) governs the advertising of financial instruments such as credit cards, loans, and other related services. According to the KUCCC, these types of ads must contain several key pieces of information to help consumers understand the nature and terms of the services being offered. This includes information such as the actual interest rate, the amount and type of fees, the repayment period, and the total cost of borrowing. The KUCCC also requires that these ads must be “clear, conspicuous, and truthful” and must not contain any false or misleading statements. Additionally, ads containing any sort of “unfair or deceptive” practices are prohibited. If these requirements are not met, the advertiser may be subject to civil penalties or even criminal prosecution. Lastly, all financial ads must be in English and only in English, and none of the ads may contain any words or phrases that are likely to deceive or mislead consumers.
