The New Brunswick rules that apply

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

How borrowing works locally

A lender may ask for proof of address, and a permanent address is a standard requirement for consumer credit.

A broker arranges credit but does not lend, and the lender remains the party that makes the decision. A secured product gives the lender a claim on a named asset, which is why its price is usually lower than an unsecured equivalent.
