Disclaimer: All loans are subject to credit and underwriting approval. Loans Canada is a lead referral network and may be remunerated for its referrals. Loans range from $500-$15,000 with terms from 4 months to 60 Months. APRs range from 29.99% to 55% and will depend on our partner's assessment of your credit profile. For example, on a $500 loan paid monthly over 9 months, a person will pay $81.15 per month for a total of $730.35 over the course of the entire loan period. This amount includes our partner's optional loan protection policy. In the event of a missed payment an insufficient funds fee of around 45$ may be charged (dependent on the lender). In the case of a default on your loan your payment plan will be terminated and different collection methods will be employed to collect your remaining balance. Outstanding debts will be pursued to the full extent of the law. Our lenders employ fair collection practices.

Note: Loans Canada and its partners will never ask you for an upfront deposit, upfront fees or upfront insurance payments on a loan. Loans Canada is a lead referral company, not a lender.
