Loans Regina questions, payday and installment
The rules behind these answers come from the Financial and Consumer Affairs Authority of Saskatchewan and the Financial Consumer Agency of Canada.
How much can I borrow on a first loan in Regina?
Usually $100 to $500 for a first payday loan. Saskatchewan caps a payday loan at 50% of your net pay for the period, so a $1600 deposit allows up to $800. An installment loan runs $500 to $10000.
When is a Regina payday loan due?
On your next pay date, in one debit, never more than 62 days out. For most of Regina that is the provincial or Crown deposit every second week, so a loan taken the day after a deposit runs about 13 days.
How long do I have to cancel a payday loan in Saskatchewan?
Until the end of the next business day after you sign. Give the lender written notice and return the money, and you owe nothing. A Friday signature gives you until the close of Monday.
Does Saskatchewan have an extended payment plan?
No. The Payday Loans Act has no rule that spreads repayment after a third loan. If a cheque will be short, call the lender before the due date and ask for a new date or a split.
I live in Lumsden, Pense or Rouleau. Can I apply here?
Yes. A lender licensed by the FCAA serves any Saskatchewan address, and the form does not care whether Highway 11 is open. The address on your ID needs to match your bank statement.
Can a University of Regina or Polytechnic student get a loan?
Yes, at 18 or older with a part time job paid by direct deposit and a chequing account in their own name. The loan will be small because the deposits are small, and student funding does not count as pay.
Will a harvest season paycheque count as income?
Yes, when it comes from an employer such as a farm equipment dealer or grain company paying by direct deposit through August to October. The lender sizes the loan to those deposits and wants the due date inside the season.
Does applying hurt my credit score?
Applying through Loans Regina does not, because the match uses the details you type in. Payday lenders mostly read deposits. An installment lender may record one inquiry once you accept its offer.
