How borrowing works locally

A broker arranges credit but does not lend, and the lender remains the party that makes the decision.

Provincial licensing decides who may lend, and federal rules add a ceiling where a licensed payday regime exists. Variable-rate products move with a reference rate, while fixed-rate products set the price for a defined term.
