Yukon
Borrowing in Yukon
Yukon licenses most non-bank lenders and sets its own consumer protection rules, so the law that binds your lender is provincial — on top of the federal limits that apply everywhere in Canada. This site covers 1 Yukon communities.
What is specific to Yukon
Two layers of law, and only one of them is federal.
Federal law sets the outer boundary: the criminal rate of interest is 35% per year under Criminal Code s. 347, and where a province operates a licensed payday regime the federal regulations cap the cost of borrowing at $14 per $100 advanced.
Yukon then does the rest. The province licenses most non-bank lenders, sets consumer protection requirements, and may set a payday cap lower than the federal figure. Complaints about provincially licensed lenders go to the provincial regulator; complaints about federally regulated institutions go to the Financial Consumer Agency of Canada.
Confirm the current cap with the provincial regulator. We do not reproduce a provincial figure we have not verified against the regulator's own current publication.
