Borrowing by province and territory

Consumer credit rules are set partly by the federal government and partly by each province or territory. The pages below explain what applies where, and link to the communities we cover.

Important legal information

Promissory.ca is not a lender, bank, mortgage broker or credit counsellor. We do not make lending decisions and we do not charge you a fee to use this service.

Submitting an application does not guarantee approval. All applications, rates and terms are set and approved solely by the individual lender or licensed professional.

Rates, fees and loan amounts vary by lender, province, loan type and your credit profile. Advertised rates are the lender's lowest offered rate and may not be available to you.

Lenders may perform a credit check with one or more credit bureaus, including Equifax and TransUnion. A hard credit inquiry may affect your credit score.

There is no obligation to accept any offer presented to you. Review every agreement carefully before signing.

Borrow only what you can reasonably afford to repay. Late or missed payments may result in additional fees, collection activity and negative credit reporting.

We handle personal information in accordance with the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA). See our Privacy Policy for how we collect, use and protect your information.

If you are struggling with debt, consider contacting a non-profit credit counselling service or a Licensed Insolvency Trustee before borrowing more.
