Ontario Payday Loan Regulations in Brampton
Brampton payday lenders operate under FSRA (Financial Services Regulatory Authority of Ontario) licensing. Ontario's Payday Loans Act, 2008 governs all Peel Region lenders including those serving Brampton. The maximum fee is $14 per $100 borrowed as of January 1, 2025. Borrowers have the right to a 2-business-day cooling-off period after signing any payday loan agreement — allowing cancellation at no cost.
Lenders must display their FSRA licence number on all materials and provide a written cost-of-borrowing disclosure before any agreement is signed. All fees — including administration, broker, or insurance charges — must be included within the $14 per $100 cap.
