Common questions

What is an unsecured loan?

A loan with no asset pledged against it, approved on your income and credit alone. Nothing can be repossessed if you default, which is why rates run higher than secured borrowing: the lender's only recourse is collections and credit reporting.

How much can I borrow unsecured in Canada?

Up to $35,000 with lenders in our network, though most approvals land far lower. The average request on our platform is $6,061 and more than half are under $5,000. Your income and existing obligations set the ceiling, not the advertised maximum.

Should I choose unsecured or secured?

Unsecured when the amount is modest and you would rather pay a higher rate than put an asset at risk. Secured when the amount is large enough that the rate saving outweighs the fixed costs of registering a charge, generally above $25,000, and you are confident of repayment.
