What’s the difference between a secured and unsecured loan?

An unsecured loan is backed by a contract and is suitable for a wide range of customers since homeownership isn’t required. On the other hand, a secured loan is backed by the value of a house. Because of this, there’s greater confidence that the loan will be paid back on time. Therefore, a secured loan offers lower interest rates and lower payments compared to an unsecured loan.

Unsecured loan
- Loan amount: Up to $25,000
- Interest rate: 26.99%-39.99%
  - 31.99% APR for residents of British Columbia
- Term: 6-60 months
- Prepayment penalties: No
- No homeownership required
Secured loan
- Loan amount: Up to $50,000
- Interest rate: 19.99%-24.49%
- Term: 60-120 months
- Prepayment penalties: Yes
- Homeownership required

What documents do I need to provide for a personal loan?

If you’re applying for a personal loan, you’ll need to provide information to verify yourself and your income. This includes:

A government-issued ID (ex: driver’s license, Canadian passport)
Proof of income (ex: latest pay stubs, latest T4, CPP statement)
Rent verification (ex: lease agreement)
