A loan with an annual interest rate exceeding 32% is high-cost credit in Manitoba. The lender must be licensed with the Consumer Protection Office to offer or arrange it. You can cancel a high-cost credit agreement within 48 hours of signing, not counting Sundays and holidays. The federal cap is 35%, so a loan between the two is legal but licensed.
A payday loan is priced separately, at no more than $14 per $100 borrowed. Winnipeg borrowers with a low score have their own page: bad credit loans in Winnipeg. Every personal lender we work with is on the personal loans in Canada page.
