How the line of credit is used in Clare

A line of credit is a revolving limit that can be drawn, repaid and drawn again. That description holds in Clare as it does elsewhere in Nova Scotia.

In Clare, the useful habit is this: compare the rate and the fees on a drawn balance against a fixed instalment loan.

A Clare borrower keeps every asset out of the contract with an unsecured line of credit, and the lender carries more risk as a result.

The licensing that covers a line of credit in Clare is provincial: Nova Scotia decides who may lend to residents.

Confirm the cap currently in force with the provincial regulator.
