The Cost of Bad Credit Loans in Ontario
These are private high-interest loans, capped by the federal criminal interest rate of 35% APR (Criminal Code s. 347) rather than Ontario's payday rules. Every offer discloses the full cost and repayment schedule before you sign, so you can compare options on equal terms.

How Bad Credit Loans Are Regulated in Ontario
Unlike payday loans, bad credit loans are private lending. They are not subject to Ontario's payday-loan rules — instead they fall under the federal criminal interest rate.
| Regulation | What It Means in Toronto |
|---|---|
| Governing Law | Criminal Code s. 347 (federal) |

Ontario: Bad Credit 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.
