About the Author
Get Payday Loans Canada is a loan-matching service, not a lender or broker, and does not make credit decisions or fund loans. Payday loans are short-term, high-cost credit regulated by each province; the maximum cost of borrowing is $14 per $100 borrowed (federal cap, since January 1, 2025). Example: a $300 payday loan at $14 per $100 borrowed for 14 days costs $42, an annual percentage rate (APR) of about 365%. Borrow only what you can repay on your next payday and consider lower-cost alternatives first. Approval is not guaranteed and depends on the lender’s criteria.
