Ontario licensing and Tay

Ontario licenses the lender rather than the loan, and that is the position for a Tay borrower as well.

One part of the Ontario framework that borrowers in Tay ask about is payday lending: 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.

Tay, with 11,091 residents, sits in the smaller-population group of covered places, and size does not change the provincial rules that apply.
