Why this range
Fast approval
Built for speed — fast approvals, minimal paperwork, and funding that can land the same day (often by e-Transfer). The higher rate is the price of that speed and of lending to more credit profiles; it covers the lender's default risk. For someone who needs money now or has been turned down elsewhere, that trade-off is the whole point.
Balanced
A middle ground — reasonable approval times with rates well below fast-cash lenders. Credit unions and dealer financing sit here: they weigh your full profile, so approval isn't instant, but the cost is fairer. Expect a solid rate in exchange for a bit more documentation.
These are general expectations based on typical industry practices and provincial norms — not an offer or an evaluation of this specific business. Actual rates depend on your credit, income, the amount and term, the product, and the day. Always confirm directly and read the agreement.
