Common questions

How much can I borrow from a payday lender in New Brunswick?

Up to 30% of the net pay shown on your most recent pay stub, to a maximum of $1,500. Only Manitoba shares a limit this strict; most provinces allow 50%. On a $2,000 paycheque, your New Brunswick ceiling is $600.

What is the cost comparison tool New Brunswick lenders must show me?

Before you take a payday loan, every licensed New Brunswick lender must present an educational tool comparing what your loan costs against a credit card cash advance over time. You must receive a copy. It exists because the payday fee, $14 per $100 over two weeks, works out to many times a cash advance's annual rate, and the province wants that visible before you sign, not after.

How do I verify a payday lender is licensed in New Brunswick?

Check FCNB's public licensed payday lender list. Online lenders need the same licence as storefronts and must display their licence number at the top of their New Brunswick page. No licence on the list means no protection under the province's rules, and no reason to proceed.
