PEI has Canada's most expensive payday cap at $25 per $100 borrowed — almost double Ontario's $14. A 14-day $500 loan costs $125 in fees (~652% APR if annualized). Licensed by Justice & Public Safety PEI. The high cap exists because of PEI's tiny market (175k people) and few lender alternatives. Strongly recommend installment loans instead.
