What is a cash advance in Quebec?

A flat-fee advance or a short instalment loan, never a payday loan. Quebec has no payday rules, so every advance falls under the federal 35% cap. An advance at 0% interest costs only its flat fee, stated before you accept. A short-term loan spreads the cost over a few months.

The payday loans in Quebec page explains why there is no payday option.

Why do Quebecers take a cash advance?

Bills, more than anything. More than a third of small Quebec requests on our platform are to catch up on bills, averaging about $560. One in eight is for a medical cost.

Credit is mixed. About a third of these applicants have a score under 560, and more than a quarter have none.

Which six lenders offer advances in Quebec?

Six of the seven on the personal loans in Quebec page. They lend $15 to $20,000, all under 35%. Three pay out within 24 hours, one within the hour, and all six within two days.

All six consider a score under 560. Income minimums run from $1,000 to $1,500 a month. Our application reaches all six at once.

What protects you on a cash advance?

A permit and a cancel right. Every lender other than a bank, caisse or trust company needs a permit from the Office de la protection du consommateur. An advance priced above 22 points over the Bank Rate counts as high-cost credit. You can then cancel within 10 days at no cost.

Every cash advance lender we work with is on the cash advance loans in Canada page.
