The federal payday lending regulations, SOR/2024-114, cap the cost of borrowing at $14 per $100 advanced in British Columbia, which the federal Payday Lending Regulations (SOR/2024-114) list as a province that regulates the product.

How borrowing works locally
A mortgage is registered against the property, which is what gives the lender its claim.
Variable-rate products move with a reference rate, while fixed-rate products set the price for a defined term. A longer amortisation lowers each payment and raises the total interest paid over the life of the loan.
