What Devon borrowers mean by a payday loan
In Devon, a payday loan is a small advance meant to be repaid on the borrower's next pay date.

One part of the Alberta framework that borrowers in Devon 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.
The federal definition covers an advance of up to $1,500 over no more than 62 days, and a payday loan in Devon sits inside that definition.
