Each product is priced separately. Compare them below.
Four questions checked against Lamina's published criteria, per product. No application started.
Lamina sizes the first loan smaller on purpose: new customers borrow up to $1,000, and the ceiling rises to $1,500 once a loan has been repaid.
A first-time customer tops out at $1,000. Repay on schedule and the limit can rise to $1,500, so the relationship, not the application, earns the larger amount.
Lamina lends where provincial law permits payday lending and nowhere else. The service area follows regulation rather than a map of the company's own choosing.

Great service, fairly efficient.
Needed some quick cash and was able to get a loan for $500 from Lamina.
I was expecting to be declined a loan because of my credit. But I was approved really quick, funds became available fast and payment schedule is great
I thought this service was excellent. I wished I could use them again but I am sorry in Manitoba and they have different consumer borrowing rules. Great service. Quick. Easy to navigate. Wished Manitobans could you use your service again. Thank you
I was in a need of a loan and they fulfilled all of my needs without any hassle and they are very professional. I would highly recommend them to anyone.
