Products compared here

Each product below has its own page, and the Ontario position applies to all of them.

• Instalment loans: A fixed number of fixed payments, sized larger and longer than a payday advance.
• Secured loans: Borrowing against an asset, which lowers the price but puts the asset at risk if you default.

How borrowing works locally

A deposit or trade-in reduces the amount financed and therefore the interest charged over the term.

Variable-rate products move with a reference rate, while fixed-rate products set the price for a defined term. A shorter term raises each payment and lowers the total interest, which is the trade every schedule makes.
