British Columbia licensing and Whistler

Because British Columbia licenses consumer credit, a Whistler borrower has provincial disclosure rules on top of the contract itself.

Recorded for British Columbia, and applicable in Whistler: A licensed payday regime operates here. the federal Payday Lending Regulations (SOR/2024-114) cap the total cost of borrowing at $14 per $100 advanced, and a province may set a lower figure, and the lower figure applies.
