Published lender terms, checked August 2026.

Our application reaches every one of the thirteen. It goes to the lender most likely to approve the amount and purpose you enter. The same form covers the rest of the province on the personal loans in British Columbia page.

Do you need good credit in Vancouver?

No. Nine of the thirteen lenders consider a score under 560, and three set no minimum at all. The other four want a fair score or better.

Minimums run from $1,000 to $2,500 a month. One of the thirteen accepts disability or pension income.

What does Vancouver borrow?

About $6,200 on average. Vancouver sent us 199 personal loan applications in the first half of 2026, one in eight of British Columbia's. Nearly seven in ten of those applicants work full-time. The city's other cells fall under our reporting floor, so we show the average and leave the rest out.

Why does 32% matter in British Columbia?

Because credit at an APR of more than 32% is high-cost credit in the province. Anyone who offers or arranges it to consumers in BC needs a licence from Consumer Protection BC. The federal cap is 35%, so a loan between the two is legal but licensed. Ask any lender quoting above 32% for its licence.

A payday loan is priced differently again, at no more than $14 for every $100 borrowed. The city's payday lenders are on the payday loans in Vancouver page, and every personal lender we work with is on the personal loans in Canada page.
