Joint applications combine two incomes and two sets of obligations in the same assessment.

Provincial licensing decides who may lend, and federal rules add a ceiling where a licensed payday regime exists. Disclosure requirements mean the cost of borrowing must be stated before an agreement is signed.

The Saskatchewan rules that apply

Licensing for consumer credit in Saskatchewan sits with the province or territory, and the Financial Consumer Agency of Canada maintains the public list of provincial and territorial regulators.

The federal Payday Lending Regulations (SOR/2024-114) count Saskatchewan among the provinces with payday lending rules, where the published maximum cost of borrowing is $14 per $100 under the federal limit (this province's own published limit is $17 per $100 advanced, the top of the range the Regulations describe) advanced under SOR/2024-114.
