Available to Grand Falls / Grand-Sault residents under New Brunswick law.

Personal Loans Unsecured or secured lump-sum borrowing repaid on a fixed schedule. Most Canadian personal loans run from $1,000 to $50,000 over one to five years. Bad Credit Loans Loans for borrowers whose credit history falls short of prime lending. Lenders weigh income, stability and banking history alongside the score. No Credit Check Loans Advertised as borrowing without a hard credit pull. A credit decision still happens, and the price of that flexibility is usually higher. Payday Loans Short-term, high-cost credit of up to $1,500 for 62 days or less. Federal law caps the cost of borrowing at $14 per $100 advanced. Cash Advance Loans A cash advance against your next paycheque or credit line. Fast, but among the most expensive ways to borrow in Canada. Emergency Loans Short-term financing for an unexpected bill. Urgency is exactly when borrowers pay the most, so compare before signing. Car Loans Vehicle financing secured by the car itself. Rates move with the vehicle's age, the term, your down payment and your credit profile. Auto Refinancing Replacing an existing vehicle loan with a new one, usually to lower the rate or the monthly payment. Home Equity Loans Borrowing against the equity in your home. Secured debt prices lower than unsecured credit, and your property backs it. Mortgage Refinancing Replacing your mortgage to change the rate, term or payment, or to pull equity out. Discharge, appraisal and legal fees apply. Home Equity Lines of Credit A revolving facility secured by your home. Interest is charged only on what you draw, usually at a variable rate. Business Loans Working capital and term financing for companies. Lenders underwrite time in business, revenue and cash flow. Business Lines of Credit A revolving facility for operating cash flow, drawn and repaid as needed up to a limit. Debt Consolidation Loans Combining multiple debts into one payment. It only saves money when the new total cost of borrowing is genuinely lower. Debt Relief Debt management plans, consumer proposals and bankruptcy. Each carries a different cost and a different credit consequence. Lines of Credit Revolving credit you draw on, repay and reuse. Cheaper than a credit card for many borrowers, and usually variable-rate.
