Cash advance loans in Nunavut

Cash advance loans in Nunavut sit inside two sets of rules at once: the provincial licensing that governs consumer credit, and the federal ceiling that applies to a licensed payday regime.

The Nunavut version of the cash advance page exists because provincial rules apply to the contract wherever the lender is based.

What a cash advance involves

Cash advance loans: Immediate short-term cash, including the difference between a cash advance on credit and a payday-style advance.

A cash advance can mean a credit card advance, a line-of-credit draw or a payday-style advance, and each sits under different rules.

Rolling over a payday advance is restricted in most provinces, and a new charge cannot simply be added.

A payday advance is small and short-term, repaid on a pay date, and priced as a flat charge rather than interest.
