A quick update for those of you searching for financial support during these difficult times.
COVID-19 has been dominating the news for a couple of weeks now. As the days go by, we’re noticing more and more people being financially hurt by COIVD-19, due to a number of economic factors like disruptions in the global supply chain, reduced business activity, shaking stock markets, and drops in oil prices. Despite government income assistance, some Canadians may require additional funds such as personal loans to assist them during the pandemic. But with the closures and restrictions imposed on so many businesses, can you still apply for one?
Yes, despite the closure of many non-essential businesses, financial institutions, grocery stores and pharmacies are still open to the public. If you’re currently struggling financially and need some help to alleviate some of the pressure, a personal loan is a viable option. Most of the lenders on our network are still operating, which means that if you are searching for a loan you can still apply for a loan with Loans Canada.

If you do not have an emergency fund and are expecting to be laid off or have your hours reduced due to COVID-19, you should put all your strength into building an emergency fund while you can. This can help ease the financial burden you will face if you lose your job or have your hours cut If you don’t have that luxury, and are already experiencing income loss, then a personal loan is a good alternative to cover costs.
A personal loan is also a good alternative when the financial assistance the government provides isn’t enough to cover your costs. While trimming your expenses to the bare minimum is one way of reducing costs, sometimes you just need some extra money to get you through the next couple of months.
There are a number of reasons personal loans are a popular choice amongst consumers for debt-consolidation and purchasing expensive products.
Repayment Period: Personal loans typically have a repayment period of 1 to 3 years, giving you ample time to repay certain debts or expenses. It also gives you time to rebuild your finances and find a new source of income.
Versatility: Personal loans are also very versatile, in terms of who offers them and what you can use them for. Many lenders provide personal loans to people with varying financial profiles. So, if you have a history of bad credit, good credit or are unemployed, there are lenders who will provide you with funds to help you. Personal loans can also be used for anything you need, there are no rules or restrictions on what you can or cannot cover.
Interest Rates: Personal loans have a much lower interest rate than credit cards, making it a popular choice when consolidating high-interest debts.
