How borrowing works locally

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 consumer proposal or a bankruptcy is administered by a licensed insolvency trustee rather than by a lender. A deposit or trade-in reduces the amount financed and therefore the interest charged over the term.

The Alberta rules that apply

The body that licenses consumer lending in Alberta is the regulator named on the federal Payday Lending Regulations (SOR/2024-114)'s list of provincial and territorial regulators.

The federal Payday Lending Regulations (SOR/2024-114) count Alberta among the provinces with payday lending rules, where the published maximum cost of borrowing is $14 per $100 advanced under SOR/2024-114.
