Payday loans Scarborough are small, short-term loans of $100 to $1,500 that you repay on your next payday. Get Payday Loans Canada connects Scarborough residents with licensed lenders, and because the east end follows Ontario law, the most you can be charged is capped at $14 per $100 borrowed.
We are not a lender. Get Payday Loans Canada is a free matching service that connects Scarborough borrowers with licensed payday lenders. Your cost and terms are set by the lender within Ontario’s legal limits.
What Payday Loans Cost in Scarborough
Scarborough follows Ontario’s rules, and the maximum a payday lender can charge is $14 per $100 borrowed — the cap that applies across the province. Every lender must show you the full cost of borrowing, in dollars, before you sign. Here’s the most payday loans Scarborough lenders can charge for a typical 14-day loan:
| Amount borrowed | Maximum cost (at $14 per $100) | Total to repay |
|---|---|---|
| $100 | $14 | $114 |
| $300 | $42 | $342 |
| $500 | $70 | $570 |
| $1,000 | $140 | $1,140 |
A $300 payday loan at $14 per $100 for 14 days works out to an APR of roughly 365%. Caps can change — confirm the current Ontario maximum with the Financial Consumer Agency of Canada.
Why Scarborough Borrowers Turn to Payday Loans
Scarborough is Toronto’s east end at work. Scarborough Health Network keeps three hospitals — General, Centenary and Birchmount — staffed around the clock, the warehouses and food plants around Milliken and Agincourt run in shifts, and thousands more work the retail floors of Scarborough Town Centre and the Golden Mile or study and teach at U of T Scarborough and Centennial College. Many commute downtown on the Lakeshore East GO line or ride replacement buses while the Line 2 subway extension is still under construction — long days where plenty of pay is hourly, casual, or seasonal.
Rents across the east end have climbed with the rest of Toronto, so one surprise — a car repair after a winter on the 401, a hydro bill, or a light paycheque between contracts — can open a gap. A payday loan is one option for that gap, but it is a high-cost one. Before you borrow, ask your provider for a few days’ extension, check whether an employer pay advance is available, and compare the total dollar cost against other choices. If a payday loan is still the right fit, borrow only what you can comfortably repay on your next payday.
