Payday Loan FAQsEverything you need to know
We believe in transparency. Here are the answers to the questions our customers ask most about payday loans, how they work, and what to expect.
Applying is free and does not affect your credit score.
Eligibility & Application
We work with all credit situations. Here's what you need to qualify for a payday loan through our network.
- Be a Canadian resident, at least 18 years old
- Have a valid government-issued ID
- Possess an active bank account in your name
- Provide proof of regular income (employment, benefits, or self-employment)
- Have a working phone number and email address
- No credit check required; we welcome poor, no, or fair credit
How Fast Can I Get Funded?
Time matters when you need cash. Our network is built for speed.
Once you submit your application online, our partner lenders review it in minutes. Approval decisions are typically made within 15 minutes during business hours.
If approved, funds are transferred directly to your bank account via Interac e-Transfer. Most customers receive their money on the same business day, often within hours of approval.
Funding speed may vary slightly depending on your bank and the time of day you apply. Weekend and holiday processing may take longer.
Fees, Interest & Total Cost
Payday loans are short-term, high-cost borrowing. We're upfront about that.
Payday loans come with fees and interest rates that are higher than traditional bank loans. The exact cost depends on the lender, the amount you borrow, and your repayment term.
Before you accept any loan offer, your lender will show you the full cost breakdown, including all fees and the total amount you'll repay. Always review this carefully.
We recommend borrowing only what you need and can afford to repay on your next payday. Payday loans are designed as short-term solutions, not long-term debt.
How Repayment Works
Repayment is straightforward and happens on your next payday.
- Your loan is typically due on your next payday, usually within 2 to 4 weeks
- You authorize your lender to withdraw the full amount (loan plus fees) directly from your bank account on the due date
- If you can't repay on time, contact your lender immediately to discuss options before the due date
- Some lenders offer rollover or extension options, but these add more fees and should only be used as a last resort
- Always ensure you have sufficient funds in your account on the repayment date to avoid overdraft fees
