How Personal Loans Are Regulated in Alberta
Unlike payday loans, personal loans are private lending. They are not subject to Alberta's payday-loan rules — instead they fall under the federal criminal interest rate.
| Regulation | What It Means in Calgary |
|---|---|
| Governing Law | Criminal Code s. 347 (federal) |
| Maximum Interest Rate | 35% APR (criminal rate) |
| Loan Range | $500–$15,000 |
| Repayment | Fixed installments over months |
| Payday Licence | Not required — private lending |
| Cost Disclosure | Full APR and cost shown before you sign |
Alberta: Personal Loans are high-interest private loans, not payday loans. Provided the effective annual rate stays at or below the federal criminal rate of 35% APR (Criminal Code s. 347), lenders may offer them without a payday licence. Always review the full cost and APR before signing.
