Loans Hillsdale residents apply for online carry the same Saskatchewan licence as a loan anywhere in Regina, in the south side neighbourhood between Albert Street and the university along 23rd Avenue and Hillsdale Street. This page covers the Albert Street buses, the legislature across the park, a furnace in a 1950s bungalow, and the $14 per $100 cap.
Between Albert Street and the campus, south of the park, under a Saskatchewan licence
Hillsdale lies on Regina's south side between Albert Street and the university, south of Wascana Centre along 23rd Avenue and Hillsdale Street, with the lake path at its door, and an online lender serving its bungalows and walk ups holds the same Financial and Consumer Affairs Authority of Saskatchewan licence as one serving downtown.
Because the cap, the net pay limit and the cancellation right are set by the province, loans Hillsdale residents take are written under The Payday Loans Act the same way a loan in Harbour Landing is.
Albert Street, Kramer Boulevard and the lake path: applying from Hillsdale
Applying from Hillsdale is done on a phone at the kitchen table of a 1950s bungalow, on an Albert Street bus heading downtown, or on a break at a care home on the south side.
Buses run Albert Street downtown every few minutes and Kramer to the campus, and plenty of people walk the lake path to the Legislative Building, but most households drive. The lender reads recent pay deposits through a read-only bank connection, puts the cost and repayment date in writing, and sends the money by Interac e-transfer; evening and weekend timing is on the e-transfer loans Regina page.
The legislature, the campus, Southland and the care homes: when Hillsdale gets paid
Hillsdale pay comes from the legislature and ministry offices across the park, from the university and polytechnic a few blocks east, from Southland Mall and the south Albert clinics, and from the seniors homes and care work that employ many of the neighbourhood's renters.
The provincial deposit lands every second week and the university runs a steady biweekly payroll through the term. Care work is the uneven one: a casual aide picks up shifts by rotation, and a fortnight with three shifts pays very differently from one with eight. Retail hours at Southland thin out after the Christmas season.
A Saskatchewan payday loan is repaid in one debit on the next pay date, so the loans Hillsdale care workers take should come due on a deposit from a fortnight they know will be full.
| Who in Hillsdale | When the pay lands | The repayment date that fits |
|---|---|---|
| Ministry and Crown staff across the park | Every second week by direct deposit | The next deposit |
| University and polytechnic staff | Biweekly through the term | A deposit inside the term |
| Casual care aides | By rotation, hours change every pay period | The next deposit large enough to carry the whole debit |
| Southland retail and clinic staff | Biweekly, hours cut after Christmas | A deposit after the January schedule is known |
A 1950s furnace, rent in a walk up and uneven casual hours: the gap loans Hillsdale borrowers cover
The gap loans Hillsdale borrowers cover most often is rent in an older block on Albert when a casual fortnight runs light, a vehicle repair for an Albert Street commute, or a water heater in a 1950s bungalow.
A water heater, a repair or one month of rent is a single bill under $1500, and a payday loan sized to a normal cheque and due on the next deposit clears it. At the legal cap a $400 payday loan costs $56, so $456 comes out of one deposit, and the lender may lend no more than half of the net pay landing on that date.
A furnace in a 1950s bungalow is rarely under $1500 and a roof never is. Those belong on the installment loans Regina page, $500 to $10000 over 3 to 60 months at 18% to 35% APR with a fixed monthly payment. Rent that falls short every month on a thin casual schedule is not a loan problem, and the Regina loan FAQ says so.
The payday loans Regina page walks through the short product, and the bad credit loans Regina page covers what a lender reads when an older file carries late marks.
Saskatchewan rules at a Hillsdale address, and the neighbours east, north and west
Payday loans at a Hillsdale address are made under The Payday Loans Act and The Payday Loans Regulations by lenders licensed through the Financial and Consumer Affairs Authority of Saskatchewan (FCAA), online lenders included, and the written agreement must show the cost, the total and the due date before you sign.
Cancellation runs to the end of the next business day after signing, in writing and with the money returned, at no cost. Rollovers and a second loan while one is open are banned. Saskatchewan has no extended payment plan, so a care aide whose fortnight comes up light should phone the lender before the due date and ask to split the payment, and the FCAA takes complaints.
The Financial Consumer Agency of Canada explains payday loans in plain words. Loans Regina is a free loan connection service rather than a lender; the how it works page sets out what a lender asks for and the Loans Regina homepage compares the two loan types.
East across Kramer, Whitmore Park shares the campus payroll; north along Albert, Lakeview has the same legislature commute and older walk ups; and west across Albert, Albert Park shares Southland Mall and its January hours. The areas we serve hub lists every other community.
Apply online from HillsdaleLoans Hillsdale FAQ
The furnace in our 1950s bungalow quit in January and the quote is well over $1500. Is a payday loan the answer?
No. A payday loan tops out at $1500 and is due in one payment on your next pay date. A furnace belongs on the installment page, $500 to $10000 over 3 to 60 months with a fixed monthly payment.
I am a casual care aide and my hours change every two weeks. Will a lender read that?
Yes. The lender sizes the loan to a normal fortnight, capped at half of the net pay for the period, and wants a repayment date on a deposit you are sure of.
I rent in a walk up on Albert Street, rent is due on the first and my deposit lands on the third. Does a short loan make sense?
It can for one month, if the loan plus the $14 per $100 fee comes out of the deposit on the third without leaving the rest of the month short. If the first and the third collide every month, the FAQ hub covers that repeating gap.
