Personal loans in Yukon

A personal loan in Yukon is licensed under provincial consumer credit rules, and the product itself works as described below.

Yukon licenses consumer credit, so a personal loan signed there follows provincial rules on disclosure and cost, on top of whatever the lender requires.

A personal loan in Yukon is described here together with the province's licensing and payday position.

The product in plain terms

Personal loans: A fixed sum repaid on a schedule, usually unsecured, for almost any purpose a lender will accept.

A personal loan is usually unsecured, which means the lender prices the file on income, obligations and credit history rather than on an asset it can seize.

Prepayment terms vary, and some agreements allow extra payments while others attach a charge.

Repayment is by instalments, and the schedule sets how much of each payment is interest and how much is principal.

What Yukon adds
