How borrowing works locally

A payday advance is repaid on a pay date, while an instalment loan is repaid over a set number of payments.

A consumer proposal or a bankruptcy is administered by a licensed insolvency trustee rather than by a lender. Variable-rate products move with a reference rate, while fixed-rate products set the price for a defined term.
