Do you offer installment loans and payday loans?

At our online marketplace, we provide a wide and growing range of loan products and services. The specific offerings available may vary depending on your province and how you engage with us.

Can I get a same-day loan from this website?

In some cases, you may be able to get a loan and receive the funds on the same day you apply. Certain online lenders offer same-day loan options, but some factors matter.
If you are prequalified, you’ll see your estimated loan rate and terms. However, prequalification doesn’t guarantee final approval, and your rate and terms may change after you formally apply. Even if a loan is advertised as same-day, the funds may not always be available immediately. The timing can depend on factors like your bank and how quickly you complete the loan paperwork.

How quickly can my loan be approved on your website?

While you might get loan approval on the same day you apply, receiving the cash isn’t always instant. Approval means your loan is greenlit, but receiving the money depends on the lender and your bank.
Even with fast approval, you might wait until the next business day.

I have bad credit or no credit; is that a problem?

No Credit? Don’t Worry! Although credit is a major factor in the lending process, it doesn’t automatically disqualify you. The best way to find out your eligibility and credit decision is to submit your application.

Can I use unemployment as a form of income?

Yes, unemployment is considered a valid form of income when applying for a loan. However, not all lenders consider these benefits as income. We have some partner payday lenders, who accept unemployment benefits as a form of income when evaluating your loan application.
