Products compared here

Two of the 20 covered products appear below, each with the purpose the product is designed for.

  • Debt consolidation loans: Replacing several expensive debts with one payment, and the arithmetic that decides whether it helps.
  • Personal loans: A fixed sum repaid on a schedule, usually unsecured, for almost any purpose a lender will accept.

How borrowing works locally

A longer amortisation lowers each payment and raises the total interest paid over the life of the loan.

A shorter term raises each payment and lowers the total interest, which is the trade every schedule makes. A deposit or trade-in reduces the amount financed and therefore the interest charged over the term.

The Ontario rules that apply

Provincial or territorial law decides who may lend in Ontario, and the Financial Consumer Agency of Canada publishes the list that names the regulator responsible.

The federal Payday Lending Regulations (SOR/2024-114) list Ontario among the provinces that regulate payday lending, where the federal Payday Lending Regulations (SOR/2024-114) cap the cost of borrowing at $14 per $100 advanced.

This community sits in the lower-middle population band, which changes the census figures rather than the rules.
