Yes - payday lending is legal in NB under the New Brunswick Payday Loans Act. Licensed payday lenders must adhere to strict fee caps, disclosure requirements, and regulation by NB authorities. Always verify a provider's licence before borrowing.
Under NB law, payday lenders may charge up to $15 for every $100 borrowed. For example, borrowing $200 costs $30 in fees, making total repayment $230. Any cost beyond that is unlawful.
Most payday loans must be repaid within 62 days or less, often tied to your next pay cycle. Some lenders may offer shorter terms, particularly in smaller communities in NB.
You can typically borrow up to 50% of your net income, depending on lender policy. If your take-home pay after deductions is $1,000, many lenders will limit your loan amount to $500 or less to avoid overextending your budget in NB.
In New Brunswick, common requirements include:
Government-issued identification
Proof of income (recent pay stub or direct deposit history)
An active bank account
Proof of residence
Lenders may also ask for further information if you've taken previous payday loans or have bank history issues.
In NB, licensed payday lenders often approve applications within minutes to a few hours, and funds can arrive the same banking day (via e-transfer or direct deposit). Rural branches or smaller communities may take slightly longer due to verification delays.
If you default in NB, you may incur non-sufficient funds (NSF) fees or collection charges, but your costs cannot exceed the legal cap. You risk damage to your credit history and possible bank account consequences. NB law bans rollovers that simply extend the debt without reducing principal.
Yes. You can repay any time without penalty. In NB, lenders must also offer a cooling-off period typically of two business days, during which you can cancel the loan with no extra fees. Use this time to review whether you truly need the loan.

Being proactive often prevents repeating debt traps in NB.
Rather than a short-term high-cost loan, consider an installment loan. With an installment loan, you receive a lump sum and repay over months or years with fixed scheduled payments. They often carry lower overall interest and reduce the risk of falling into cycles. Check out our installment loans page for details and comparison.
