Collateral loans in Yukon

How a collateral loan is priced and assessed in Yukon depends on the product and on the provincial rules that sit over it.

This page covers collateral loan for Yukon residents, and it carries the provincial rule alongside the product description.

The product in plain terms

Collateral loans: Borrowing against an asset a lender will hold, from vehicles to savings, and what happens on default.

A collateral loan is secured by an asset the lender holds or registers against, from a vehicle to savings, and default puts that asset at risk.

The asset is the lender's fallback, so the price is usually lower than for an unsecured equivalent.

A secured product names an asset, and the lender registers or holds a claim against it.

The federal Payday Lending Regulations (SOR/2024-114) note that the territories do not have specific payday lending rules, which leaves Yukon without a published territorial cap.
