While Toronto is the cultural and financial epicenter of the country, and the average income there is quite high, that doesn’t mean people still don’t experience financial issues. Toronto not only has a high cost of living but we’ve all experienced an emergency or unexpected expense and struggled to make it to the next paycheck.

Well, instead of worrying and depleting the last of your savings account, why not secure a short term loan? A short term loan is a loan that is generally paid off sometime between a few months up to two years and can be for as little as $100 up to around $2000.

What Can I Use a Short Term Loan For in Toronto?

Now that you know a little basic info about what a short term loan is, what can you use them for? Well, the great thing about these types of loans is that you can essentially use them for anything in Toronto. This includes:

Using them as a relatively quick and easy way to build up your credit
To cover the cost of an emergency that you have experienced. This could be anything from a medical emergency to a car accident
To make large purchases that you can’t afford to make in cash
To go on a vacation

So while these loans can be used for nearly anything, it is important to remember that you are still responsible for paying back your loan plus interest. It might be tempting to take out a larger loan than you need or get one when you don’t need it, keep in mind that taking on debt can be useful but only if it managed responsibly.

Short Term Loans FAQ

Knowledge is your number one defense against repayment confusion, scams, and excessive debt, this is why the more questions you ask, the better. With this in mind, here are some of the most commonly asked question surrounding short term loans, questions you might want to consider asking your next lender in Toronto.

What Will My Interest Rate Be?

In addition to how much you borrow and the length of your loan term, one of the most important factors surrounding how much money you will spend repaying a debt is the interest rate. The interest rate you get will be determined by the lender you work with in Toronto, as well as how good your credit score is. Always make sure you understand the consequences of the interest rate you’re accepting before signing any contract.

Can Approval be Guaranteed?

No lender in Toronto or anywhere in Canada can guarantee your approval before you apply and submit all the necessary documentation. Loan approval is decided on a case by case basis. If your lender in Toronto says that they can guarantee that you’ll be approved, it is likely a scam and you could potentially be victimized.

However, you can always try applying for a guarantor loan.

Do Short Term Lenders in Toronto Check Credit Scores?

Most do, but this isn’t always the case. If a lender in Toronto doesn’t check your credit score, they will often use other factors like income and how much other debt you have when deciding whether to approve you or not.
