What governs a loan here
Nothing about lending is municipal. A lender serving Hampton is licensed by New Brunswick 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 Hampton 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.

Frequently asked questions
Does Hampton have a local payday loan bylaw?
Payday lending is regulated by the province, not by the municipality, so any cap or licensing requirement comes from New Brunswick (or, for federally regulated lenders, from federal regulation). Confirm the current position with the provincial regulator.
How big is the borrowing market in Hampton?
Hampton recorded a population of 4,395 at the 2021 Census of Population. That figure comes from Statistics Canada table 98-10-0002 and is the only local market measure we publish.
Is Hampton in a different province with different rules?
Hampton is in New Brunswick. Consumer protection, lender licensing and any payday cost cap come from New Brunswick, on top of the federal limits that apply across Canada.
Do I need a licence or permit to borrow money in Hampton?
No. Lending is not licensed at the municipal level in Canada. A lender serving Hampton is licensed by New Brunswick and must also comply with federal law, including the Criminal Code ceiling on the cost of credit.
Which regulator handles a complaint about a lender in Hampton?
It depends on the lender. Complaints about a federally regulated institution go to the Financial Consumer Agency of Canada. Complaints about a provincially licensed lender go to the New Brunswick consumer protection regulator.
