Lending Regulation in Alberta

Alberta regulates payday lending provincially, setting a maximum cost of borrowing per $100 for short-term payday loans specifically. Personal installment loans like the ones in our network are governed instead by Canada's federal criminal rate of interest, capped at 35% APR as of January 2025.

Personal Loans in Alberta FAQ

Are online personal loans legal in Alberta?

Yes — personal installment loans are legal across Alberta and every Canadian province, subject to the federal criminal rate of interest cap of 35% APR.

Do I need to visit a branch to get a loan in Alberta?

No — our lender network operates entirely online, so Albertans in Calgary, Edmonton, or smaller communities can apply, get approved, and receive funds without visiting a physical location.

Will applying affect my credit score?

Checking your rate uses a soft credit inquiry, which does not affect your credit score. A hard inquiry only occurs if you accept an offer and proceed with a lender.

How fast can I get funded?

Most applicants get a decision within minutes. Once you accept an offer, funds are typically deposited within 24 hours, and some lenders offer same-day funding.
