Cash advance loans in Saskatchewan

This page explains how cash advance work for a resident of Saskatchewan, what the provincial rules add, and how the product is assessed.

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

How the product is defined

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.

Federal regulations cap the cost of borrowing at $14 per $100 under the federal limit (this province's own published limit is $17 per $100 advanced, the top of the range the Regulations describe) advanced where a province operates a licensed regime.

Provincial rules set what the agreement must contain and how collection may be conducted.

How Saskatchewan regulates it
