★★★★★ 4.3 · 18 borrower reviews
Money Mart runs its two products online and over the counter alike. The instalment loan lends $500 to $25,000 at up to 34.95% APR over 6 to 84 months in every province except Quebec. The cash advance moves $120 to $1,500 at $14 per $100 borrowed in six provinces. Both ask for income of $1,500 a month, a chequing account and government ID, and the storefront remains part of the process.

Incredible

My review is for the Yonge and Eglinton location in Toronto. I have been doing business with this location for about 2 years now, and can honestly say I have never had a bad experience. There are 3 ladies there who are helpful, caring and incredible at their job.

My biggest mistake-borrowing fro money mart

I was eligible to borrow 12.000$, which was great and got me out of a hole with other debts. Biggest mistake I ever made, my downfall is now I owe double what I borrowed due to their 46% interest rate. In my opinion, Money mart is not about helping people but rather about profit and greed. I learned a big and costly lesson here and once I pay this 26.000$ debt, I will never borrow from them again. All my other bills are paid but now I owe more than what I did in the first place. Very stupid decision of my part.
