Products compared here

Two of the 20 covered products appear below, each with the purpose the product is designed for.

  • Instalment loans: A fixed number of fixed payments, sized larger and longer than a payday advance.

How borrowing works locally

A lender's assessment looks at income, existing obligations, the credit file, and the asset pledged where there is one.

A secured product gives the lender a claim on a named asset, which is why its price is usually lower than an unsecured equivalent. A mortgage is registered against the property, which is what gives the lender its claim.

The Alberta rules that apply

The regulator for consumer credit in Alberta is the body listed by the federal Payday Lending Regulations (SOR/2024-114) provincial and territorial regulators.

The federal Payday Lending Regulations (SOR/2024-114) list Alberta among the provinces that regulate payday lending, where the federal Payday Lending Regulations (SOR/2024-114) cap the cost of borrowing at $14 per $100 advanced.

At the small end of the census range, the community still borrows inside the province's licensing system.
