Lines of credit in New Brunswick

A line of credit in New Brunswick is a contract between a borrower and a licensed lender, read against the province's consumer credit rules and the federal ceiling where one applies.

Read the line of credit description with the New Brunswick position attached: the product terms come from the lender, and the licensing rules come from the province.

How the product is defined

Lines of credit: A revolving limit you draw on and repay, usually paying interest only on what is outstanding.

A line of credit is revolving, so the balance can rise and fall, and interest is charged on what is outstanding rather than on the whole limit.

A line of credit is usually priced below a credit card advance, because the pricing reflects a different risk.

The unused portion of the limit costs nothing, which is the main difference from an instalment loan.
