New Brunswick: loans, rules and lenders
New Brunswick has 44 cities covered on this site with a combined 2021 census population of 516,287. Consumer protection and licensing for most lenders sit with the provincial regulator, so the rules that apply to you are New Brunswick's — not another province's.
What is different in New Brunswick
Two layers of law apply to a loan in New Brunswick. 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. New Brunswick 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.
