Many microcredit programs have been created in the United States in the past decade that replicate design features of their counterparts in the third world. Yet few systematic studies have been carried out to examine what determines these programs' loan repayment performance. We attempt to fill this gap by studying the determinants of loan repayment for four of the oldest group-based microcredit programs in the US. Our findings suggest that these programs are faced with a set of social and institutional environments that are both similar to and different from those faced by their third-world counterparts. On the one hand we find that higher levels of education and proximity to the lending agency increase the chances of loan repayment. Low transaction costs for accessing loans and high borrower-costs in the event of default also enhance loan repayment performance. On the other hand key variables such as gender and homogeneity of borrowers are not significantly related to loan repayment. We conclude by examining the implications of these findings for program design in the US.Au cours des dix dernières années, ont été créés aux Etats-Unis de nombreux programmes de microcrédit reprenant des concepts de leurs équivalents du Tiers monde. Cependant, on a mené peu d'études systématiques pour examiner ce qui décide de la qualité de remboursement des prÁts de ces programmes. En tentant de combler cette lacune, l'article étudie les déterminants de ces remboursements pour quatre des plus anciens programmes de microcrédit américains associés à des groupes. D'après les résultats, les programmes sont confrontés à un ensemble d'environnements sociaux et institutionnels à la fois similaires et différents de ceux que rencontrent leurs équivalents du Tiers monde. D'une part, les niveaux supérieurs d'éducation et de proximité de l'organisme de prÁt augmentent les chances de remboursement. Des frais de transaction faibles pour l'accès aux prÁts, de mÁme que des charges élevées pour l'emprunteur défaillant, favorisent également la réalisation du remboursement. D'autre part, des variables-clés, comme le sexe et l'homogénéité des emprunteurs, n'ont pas de liens significatifs avec le remboursement. En conclusion, sont étudiées les implications de ces résultats sur la conception des programmes américains
