Home renovation loans in Saskatchewan

Home renovation loans are one of the Saskatchewan product pages on this site, and the description below applies to a contract signed with a lender licensed in Saskatchewan.

What this product does

Home renovation loans: Paying for work on a property, from a small unsecured instalment loan to a secured renovation product.

A renovation loan ranges from a small unsecured instalment loan to a secured product tied to the property being improved.

The asset is the lender's fallback, so the price is usually lower than for an unsecured equivalent.

A secured product names an asset, and the lender registers or holds a claim against it.

The provincial layer

Payday lending is licensed in Saskatchewan; the federal Payday Lending Regulations (SOR/2024-114) publish a cap of $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, and notes that a province may set a lower figure.

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.

What the lender weighs
