Borrow responsibly

A payday loan is short-term, high-cost credit

Before borrowing, compare lower-cost options when they are available. Payday loans can help with short-term cash needs, but they are expensive compared with many other forms of credit. Review the full repayment amount and consider lower-cost alternatives when available.

  • Review the full repayment amount.
  • Check your province’s cancellation and early-repayment rights.
  • Borrow only what you can repay on the agreed schedule.
Direct lender vs. broker

Answers before you apply

How much does a payday loan cost?

The current maximum cost is $14 per $100 borrowed in British Columbia, Alberta and Ontario. In BC, the regulation expresses this as 14% of principal. Your loan agreement must show the actual total cost before you accept it.

How quickly can I receive funds?

Eligible approved applicants may receive funds in as little as 30 minutes. Actual timing depends on verification, approval, your bank, e‑Transfer availability and business hours. Funding time is not guaranteed.

Can I apply for a payday loan with bad credit?

You may apply even if your credit history is not perfect. Eligibility is based on multiple factors, including income, banking and underwriting requirements. Approval is not guaranteed, and any credit-verification step should be disclosed before consent.

Can I repay my loan early?

Provincial payday-loan rules include early-repayment protections. The exact rights that apply should be explained on your province page and in your agreement.

Can I cancel after signing?

Cancellation rights vary by province and are time-sensitive. The redesigned borrower-rights page should give the current rule for each province and link to the applicable government source.
