★★★★★ 5.0 · 4 borrower reviews
Magical Cash advances $100 to $1,500 at $14 per $100 borrowed, with funding within 48 hours. It stands out for counting Employment Insurance as qualifying income alongside employment and self-employment, provided deposits have landed for three months and total $2,000 a month. The catch is geography: applications are taken from Ontario and British Columbia residents only.

Our verdict

Written and analysed by Smarter Loans Editorial Team · Reviewed by Rafael Rositsan

Best for

Borrowers who need a payday advance in a province where their options are limited

Not for

Anyone who qualifies for instalment credit, which costs substantially less

What we like

  • Serves the territories, where payday options are scarce
  • Cost is the provincially capped maximum, disclosed per $100 borrowed
  • Accepts any income type and any credit band

Where it could improve

  • $14 per $100 over up to 62 days is far more expensive than an instalment loan
  • Repeat use is the main risk this product carries

Magical Cash's narrow gate

Two provinces

Applications are taken from residents of Ontario and British Columbia only. The wider Magical family lends across most of Canada, but this payday product stops at two provinces.

EI counts here

Employment Insurance qualifies as income alongside employment and self-employment, provided the deposits have been landing in your account for three months. Most payday lenders refuse EI outright, so this is the distinctive door.
