The regulator for consumer credit in Quebec is the body listed by the federal Payday Lending Regulations (SOR/2024-114) provincial and territorial regulators.

How borrowing works locally

A consumer proposal or a bankruptcy is administered by a licensed insolvency trustee rather than by a lender.

A lender is free to set its own price below the legal ceiling, and it does so according to the risk it reads in the file. Variable-rate products move with a reference rate, while fixed-rate products set the price for a defined term.
