This page covers the payday loan for Selwyn, Ontario: 18,653 residents at the 2021 Census, the provincial rules, and what a lender reads before it decides.

The Ontario rules that apply in Selwyn

In Ontario, the provincial or territorial government licenses consumer credit, and the same licensing applies in Selwyn.

The payday position recorded for Ontario is part of the same framework, and it applies in Selwyn as it does across the province: A licensed payday regime operates here. the federal Payday Lending Regulations (SOR/2024-114) cap the total cost of borrowing at $14 per $100 advanced, and a province may set a lower figure, and the lower figure applies. Confirm the cap currently in force with the provincial regulator.

Federal rules describe a payday loan as an advance of no more than $1,500 for a term of no more than 62 days, which is the product the Selwyn cap above refers to.

Size changes the census figures in Selwyn, not the rules: the province licenses the lender either way.
