What applies to a loan in Esquimalt

Federal law applies across Canada: the criminal rate of interest is 35% per year, and licensed payday lending is capped at $14 per $100 advanced where the province operates a regime. British Columbia adds its own licensing and consumer protection rules on top, and may set a lower payday cap.

What differs at the city level is practical rather than legal. Access to credit unions, the branch presence of the major banks, and the mix of local alternative lenders all shape what you can actually compare. Credit unions in particular are provincially regulated and often underwrite on factors beyond a credit score, which matters if your file is thin or damaged.
