The Saskatchewan rules that apply in Melfort

Reading a line of credit application from Melfort

In Melfort, the lender's reading of a line of credit file works like this: the lender sets a limit from income, obligations and credit history, then charges interest on what is drawn.

Price and repayment in Melfort

For Melfort borrowers, the interest rate on a line of credit is only part of the cost, because fees and the length of the term change the total.
