Who we are and how we work

Loan amounts and costs

How much can you borrow and what it costs

Payday loans are designed for short-term, urgent cash needs. Here's what you need to know about amounts and pricing.

ieee mcmaster connects you with lenders offering loans from $100 to $1,500 CAD. The exact amount you qualify for depends on your income, employment status, and the lender's assessment of your situation.

Payday loans are a high-cost form of short-term credit. Interest rates and fees vary by lender and province. Always review the full loan agreement, including the annual percentage rate (APR) and all fees, before you accept. This information will be clearly provided by your lender before you commit to the loan.

We encourage you to borrow only what you need and can comfortably repay. Payday loans are meant for temporary financial gaps, not long-term solutions.

Repayment

How repayment works

Repayment terms are straightforward and agreed upon before you receive your loan.

  • Repayment is typically due on your next payday or within two to four weeks
  • Your lender will arrange automatic withdrawal from your bank account on the due date
  • The full repayment amount (loan plus interest and fees) is withdrawn in one lump sum
  • If you cannot repay on time, contact your lender immediately to discuss options
  • Missing payments may result in additional fees and damage to your credit score
  • Some lenders offer rollover or extension options, though these come with additional costs
Responsible borrowing

Borrow responsibly

Payday loans are short-term solutions for immediate cash needs. Here's how to use them wisely.

Only borrow what you truly need and can repay on your next payday. Borrowing more than necessary increases your debt and the cost of the loan.

Understand the full cost of the loan before you accept it. Your lender must provide the APR, fees, and total repayment amount in writing.

Have a repayment plan. Know exactly how you'll repay the loan when it's due. If your financial situation changes, contact your lender right away.

Avoid rolling over or extending your loan unless absolutely necessary. Each extension adds interest and fees, making the debt more expensive and harder to escape.

If you're struggling with debt, consider speaking with a non-profit credit counsellor. Many provinces offer free or low-cost credit counselling services.
