Alberta licensing and Banff

One part of the Alberta framework that borrowers in Banff ask about is payday lending: A licensed payday regime operates here. the federal Payday Lending Regulations (SOR/2024-114) cap the total cost of borrowing at $14 per $100 advanced, and a province may set a lower figure, and the lower figure applies. Confirm the cap currently in force with the provincial regulator.
