Short-term loans are loans designed to be paid back quickly, usually within a few months to a year. Amounts are smaller than long-term loans, often between $100 and $1,500.
Because the loan is paid back fast, the dollar cost can look small but the effective interest rate is often very high. Always check the annual percentage rate (APR), not just the fee.
In Canada, payday-style short-term loans are regulated at the provincial level. Each province sets its own maximum allowed cost of borrowing. Before you accept any short-term loan, make sure the lender is licensed in your province.
