Payday Loans Hamilton is an information and referral service. We do not lend, we have no staffed office in Hamilton, and nothing here is advice for your situation.
Information, not advice
The pages explain how payday loans and installment loans work under Ontario, federal and City of Hamilton rules and what the legal limits are, and that is all they do. They do not know your income, your rent on the Mountain or your GO pass, so they cannot tell you whether to borrow or how much. A non-profit credit counsellor in Hamilton can look at the whole picture with you at no cost, and every licensed storefront in the city must keep credit counselling information at the counter under the municipal bylaw.
Where the figures come from
Every dollar figure on this site is either a legal ceiling or a worked example at that ceiling: a $1500 maximum, a 62 day maximum term, a payday fee capped at $14 per $100 borrowed by federal regulation, and 35% APR as the federal ceiling on installment lending. A lender's offer may sit below a cap, and its disclosure box is the figure you are signing.
The lender sets approval and terms
Approval, the amount, the fee, the due date and every other term of a loan are decided by the licensed lender, not by this site, and no lender in Canada can promise approval before it has seen your income. Read the agreement before you sign, and check that it shows the lender's name, the fee in dollars and the two business day cancellation right.
No promise of accuracy or availability
We work to keep every page current, but laws and products change and a page can lag. We make no promise that the site, the platform or a lender will be available when you need them, or that a figure here still matches a lender's current disclosure. The terms of use set out the limits on liability, the about page explains who runs the site, and the FAQ answers the questions Hamilton readers send most.
