How borrowing works locally

A secured product gives the lender a claim on a named asset, which is why its price is usually lower than an unsecured equivalent.

Provincial licensing decides who may lend, and federal rules add a ceiling where a licensed payday regime exists. Interest on a line of credit accrues only on the drawn portion, not on the unused limit.
