★ SPECIAL · QUÉBEC

Québec uses different cash products

Provincial rules favour longer-term loans with lower APRs. Same fast cash, different mechanism — and often cheaper.

LIVE 47 funded in the last hour1.6M+ total customers4.8★ · 78k reviewsLicensed in 9 provinces
★ BUILT FOR FAST CASH ★

Why 1.6M Canadians chose payday loans last year

Six product advantages other lenders can't match — speed, access, transparency, and rewards that scale with you.

2minAVG TIME TO FUNDED

Funded in 2 minutes

Online lenders deliver via Interac e-Transfer in minutes. Banks take 1-3 business days. When the cash needs to land now, this is the only product built for it.

ANYCREDIT SCORE WELCOME

No credit barriers

Approved on income, not your credit file. EI, ODSP, CPP, OAS, employment, self-employment, child tax benefit — all treated equally. Discharged from bankruptcy? Still approved.

$
$14/$100FIXED · NO COMPOUNDING

Flat fees, zero surprises

You see your full cost before you sign. A fixed fee per $100 borrowed — no compounding, no hidden charges. The number on the contract is the number you pay back. Fee is $14 in most provinces.

🌙
24/7EVENINGS · WEEKENDS · HOLIDAYS

Apply any hour, any day

Apply Sunday at 3 AM and have funds before the workweek starts. Online lenders never close. iCash and GoDay fund evenings, weekends, and statutory holidays.

🛡
0COLLATERAL REQUIRED

Nothing on the line

Unsecured against your future paycheck. Unlike pawn shops or auto title loans, your car and possessions aren't at risk if repayment slips. Just income proof and a bank account.

12%CASHBACK ON-TIME · iCASH

Build limit + earn cashback

Repay on time and unlock larger amounts, faster approval, and cashback rewards. Customers commonly scale from a $300 first loan to a $1,500 limit within a few successful cycles.

SPOT THE FAKES

How to recognize an unlicensed lender

All lenders we feature are provincially licensed. Here's how to spot the imposters elsewhere on the internet.

Lender isn't licensed in your province
Every lender below has been verified against provincial registries. Check the regulator phone numbers above to confirm any lender.
Asks you to e-Transfer a "verification fee" first
Real Canadian payday lenders never collect anything before disbursing your loan. This is the #1 payday loan scam.
Offers more than $1,500 as a payday loan
Federal law caps payday loans at $1,500. Higher amounts are either installment loans (different rules) or illegal lenders.
No written agreement before you commit
Provincial law requires a written contract with full cost disclosure before signing. Avoid SMS-only or verbal-only offers.
