What governs a loan here
Nothing about lending is municipal. A lender serving Alnwick/Haldimand is licensed by Ontario and bound by the same federal limits that apply across Canada: the criminal rate of interest is 35% per year, and licensed payday lending is capped at $14 per $100 advanced, or a lower provincial cap where one is set.
The practical consequence for a Alnwick/Haldimand borrower is that shopping locally is not the point — shopping on total cost is. Compare the annual percentage rate and the total cost of borrowing, not the monthly payment.
loanloon.ca is a matching and comparison service — not a lender, a broker of record, or a credit counsellor. We do not make loans, set rates or make credit decisions. The lowest rates are only available to the most qualified applicants.
