Burlington residents apply online with Ontario-licensed lenders and receive funds by e-Transfer.
Burlington borrowers are covered by Ontario’s payday loan rules: at most $14 per $100, half your net pay, and two business days to cancel.
Burlington-specific things to know
- Paid monthly, due monthly. If your income arrives once a month, your payday loan is due on your next payment date. The cost is still at most $14 per $100.
- Check every benefit first. Seniors with lower incomes may qualify for the Guaranteed Income Supplement and the Ontario Trillium Benefit. Neither has to be paid back.
