All British Columbia lending rules apply here, including the 35% federal rate cap. See the full rules on our British Columbia page.

The three structures under $1,500, and what $500 costs

At this size the structure decides the cost more than the lender does. A 0% advance costs nothing and repays from your next deposit. A payday loan at British Columbia's $15 per $100 cap costs $75 on $500 for two weeks, repaid in one payment. A small instalment loan spreads repayment and costs roughly $6 in interest over the same two weeks at 30% APR, but only stays cheap if it is paid down quickly.

Worth checking before borrowing. Each costs less than any loan.

Common questions

How much money can I get with a payday loan in Vancouver?

The exact amount of money you can borrow when you get a payday loan in Vancouver will depend slightly on your personal circumstances at the time of borrowing, but the maximum amount is $1,500. Other types of quick loan are available, with some offering the most qualified borrowers up to $15,000.

How much does an online payday loan cost in Vancouver?

A payday loan is one of the most expensive ways to borrow money, and therefore not everyone will benefit from one. Payday lenders in Vancouver can charge a maximum of $15 per $100 borrowed – and this is regulated by the government – but this is still higher than the cost of other types of loan or cash advance. If you choose to get an online payday loan, make sure you understand its cost, and that you can pay the money back.

What credit score do I need to get a payday loan in Vancouver?

Credit is an important factor in many loan decisions, but as online payday loans tend to be for small amounts and short periods of time, it isn’t a consideration. In fact, payday lenders do not perform a credit check at all. In order to be approved for payday loans in Vancouver, all you need is to demonstrate that you have regular pay coming in.

Do I need to be employed to get a Vancouver payday loan?

Not necessarily. Most payday loans in Vancouver, including online options, require you to prove that you have income in order to get approved. But this income does not need to be employment related pay. As long as you can list some form of regular income on the loan application, you should be OK.

How do I choose between an online payday loan and other types of cash loan?

Getting a payday loan online is easy and fast, but that doesn’t mean it’s the right borrowing option for you. Payday loans are among the most expensive products on the loan market; they are however very fast to get, and simple in terms of repayment. So your exact needs and situation should dictate which product is right for you; if speed and easy approval is paramount, a payday loan might be best. If you can find a cheaper solution that meets your needs, that will be better for you in the long term.

How can I avoid predatory loan companies when getting a payday loan in Vancouver?

Short-term and instant payday loans are notorious for having high-interest rates. And although companies that offer loans of this type in Vancouver are regulated by the government, that doesn’t mean they follow all the rules, or that every payday loan is safe. Make sure you search for “safe payday loans Vancouver” when shopping for a loan, and read past customer reviews to find out where your fellow Vancouver residents have had good experiences.

You should be especially careful when getting an online payday loan, as it can be tempting to click through the first loan contract without properly reading the terms or understanding the ramifications. Being approved quickly may seem like the most important factor, but the decision to get an online payday loan is a serious one, and must be considered carefully.
