Alberta Rules

How the Law Treats Bad Credit Loans in Alberta

Bad Credit Loans sit in the private, high-interest part of the market rather than in payday lending. Their rules come from federal law, not from Alberta's payday-loan statute, and the criminal interest rate fixes the outer limit on cost.

RegulationWhat It Means in Lethbridge
Rules That ApplyCriminal Code s. 347 (a federal statute)
Maximum Annual Rate35% APR (the criminal rate)
How Much You Can Borrow$500–$5,000
How You RepaySet installments, paid month by month

Cost Before You SignAPR and full cost shown before you sign

Alberta: Bad Credit Loans are private high-interest credit rather than payday loans. A lender may offer them without a payday licence provided the effective annual rate stays at or under the federal criminal ceiling of 35% APR (Criminal Code s. 347). Check the APR and the total cost before you sign.
