Our verdict

Written and analysed by Smarter Loans Editorial Team · Reviewed by Rafael Rositsan

Best for

Not for

Anyone without an account at a Canadian bank or credit union, which the process runs through

What we like

  • No documents at any stage, published outright
  • Same day funding by direct deposit or e-transfer
  • Eight provinces served, broader than most payday maps

Where it could improve

  • $14 per $100 borrowed, the standard but steep payday price
  • A two month ceiling keeps every loan short
