Manitoba: loans, rules and lenders
Manitoba has 46 cities covered on this site with a combined 2021 census population of 1,124,778. Consumer protection and licensing for most lenders sit with the provincial regulator, so the rules that apply to you are Manitoba's — not another province's.
What is different in Manitoba
Two layers of law apply to a loan in Manitoba. Federal law sets the outer limits: the Criminal Code criminal rate of interest is 35% per year, and where a province operates a licensed payday lending regime the federal payday lending regulations cap the cost of borrowing at $14 per $100 advanced.
Provincial law then does the rest. Manitoba sets its own consumer protection rules, licenses most non-bank lenders, and may set a lower payday cap than the federal figure. Each province also runs its own complaint route for provincially licensed lenders, while the Financial Consumer Agency of Canada handles complaints about federally regulated institutions.
Confirm the current provincial cap with your provincial regulator. We do not reproduce a provincial cap we have not verified against the regulator's own current publication. The payday limits reference page links to the official regulator directory.
