What governs a loan here
Nothing about lending is municipal. A lender serving Trent Hills 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 Trent Hills 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.
