Four in the Smarter Loans network, from $500 to $35,000, at 9.99% to 34.99% APR, under the 35% federal cap, repaid in fixed payments over months or years rather than in one sum on your next pay date. One of the four pays out within 24 hours and all four within two days; three consider a score under 560; income minimums run from $1,200 to $2,000 a month from any regular source. The four are part of the nine on the personal loans in Manitoba page, and the whole network's instalment set is on the instalment loans in Canada page.
Money priced as an APR and repaid on a schedule you agree at the start, so every payment is the same and the last one clears the balance. Against a payday loan, which Manitoba caps at $14 per $100 on up to $1,500 for 62 days, the instalment loan costs less the moment the balance takes more than one pay period to clear: $500 over three months at 34.99% costs about $29 in interest against $70 for the payday loan. Against a line of credit, it costs more in interest but cannot be redrawn, which for some borrowers is the point.
Your credit score, the amount and the term. A good score gets the 9.99% floor; a fair one is priced in the twenties; a poor one is priced toward the top of the range rather than declined by three of the four, and above 32% the lender must be licensed with the Consumer Protection Office as a high-cost credit grantor, and you can cancel the agreement within 48 hours, excluding Sundays and holidays. On $5,000 over 36 months, 20% costs about $1,689 in interest and 34.99% about $3,141, a difference of roughly $1,450, which is why the rate you are placed at matters more than the approval, and why a loan repaid cleanly for a year and then refinanced at a rate that reflects the new score is the route out of the top tier.

Yes. Three of the four lenders listed consider a score under 560, and the decision is made on three months of bank statements; a poor score is priced rather than declined.
A loan that reports to the credit bureaus and is repaid on time builds a score; one that does not report changes nothing. Ask the lender before you sign.
