Products compared here

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

• Lines of credit: A revolving limit you draw on and repay, usually paying interest only on what is outstanding.

How borrowing works locally

Debt management plans are administered by accredited credit counsellors, and they are not loans.

A longer amortisation lowers each payment and raises the total interest paid over the life of the loan. A secured product gives the lender a claim on a named asset, which is why its price is usually lower than an unsecured equivalent.

The Ontario rules that apply

Consumer credit in Ontario is licensed by the provincial or territorial regulator, and the Financial Consumer Agency of Canada publishes the list of provincial and territorial regulators.

The federal Payday Lending Regulations (SOR/2024-114) count Ontario among the provinces with payday lending rules, where the published maximum cost of borrowing is $14 per $100 advanced under SOR/2024-114.

The lower-middle band covers towns of moderate size, none of which sets its own lending rules.
