How borrowing works locally

Disclosure requirements mean the cost of borrowing must be stated before an agreement is signed.

Joint applications combine two incomes and two sets of obligations in the same assessment. Interest on a line of credit accrues only on the drawn portion, not on the unused limit.

The Alberta rules that apply

Provincial or territorial law decides who may lend in Alberta, and the Financial Consumer Agency of Canada publishes the list that names the regulator responsible.

Payday lending is licensed in Alberta; the federal Payday Lending Regulations (SOR/2024-114) publish a cap of $14 per $100 advanced, and notes that a province may set a lower figure.
