How borrowing works locally

Interest on a line of credit accrues only on the drawn portion, not on the unused limit.

Disclosure requirements mean the cost of borrowing must be stated before an agreement is signed. A provincial regulator publishes licensing requirements, and the Financial Consumer Agency of Canada publishes the list of provincial and territorial regulators.
