The Alberta rules that apply

Consumer credit in Alberta is licensed by the provincial or territorial regulator, and the Financial Consumer Agency of Canada publishes the list of provincial and territorial regulators.

In Alberta, payday lending operates under a licensed provincial regime, and the federal Payday Lending Regulations (SOR/2024-114) record a maximum cost of borrowing of $14 for each $100 advanced under SOR/2024-114.

How borrowing works locally

A revolving product charges interest on the outstanding balance, while an instalment product charges a fixed schedule of payments.

A consumer proposal or a bankruptcy is administered by a licensed insolvency trustee rather than by a lender. Provincial licensing decides who may lend, and federal rules add a ceiling where a licensed payday regime exists.
