A payday loan is a small, short-term loan, usually $100 to $1,500, that you pay back on or near your next payday. They are designed for one-time emergency use, not ongoing borrowing.
Payday loans are the most expensive form of regulated credit in Canada. Even though the dollar fee looks small (for example, $15 per $100 borrowed), the effective annual rate is in the hundreds of percent. Use them only when no cheaper option is available.
Every Canadian province sets its own maximum payday loan cost. Always check that the lender is licensed in your province, and never roll over a payday loan into a new one. Rolling over is how borrowers get trapped in long-term debt cycles.
