How borrowing works locally

A mortgage is registered against the property, which is what gives the lender its claim.

A broker arranges credit but does not lend, and the lender remains the party that makes the decision. A prepayment privilege allows a borrower to pay more than the scheduled amount, sometimes with a charge attached.

The Ontario rules that apply

Provincial or territorial law decides who may lend in Ontario, and the Financial Consumer Agency of Canada publishes the list that names the regulator responsible.

In Ontario, payday lending operates under a licensed provincial regime, and the federal Payday Lending Regulations (SOR/2024-114) record a maximum cost of borrowing of $14 for each $100 advanced under SOR/2024-114.
