Common questions

How much does a payday loan cost in Halifax?

$14 per $100 borrowed, the Nova Scotia maximum. Uniquely in Canada, that maximum is set by the province's Utility and Review Board through public rate hearings, the same body that reviews power rates, so the evidence behind the price is on the public record.

What are the alternatives to a payday loan in Halifax?

The instalment lenders and credit lines on our Nova Scotia personal loans page price at or below the 35% federal cap and repay over months rather than on your next payday. For amounts above a few hundred dollars, that usually costs less in total.
