How the Law Treats Bad Credit Loans in Ontario

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 Ontario's payday-loan statute, and the criminal interest rate fixes the outer limit on cost.

Maximum Annual Rate35% APR (the criminal rate)
How Much You Can Borrow$500–$5,000
