Ontario Payday Loan Regulations in Mississauga
Mississauga payday lenders are regulated by the Financial Services Regulatory Authority of Ontario (FSRA) under the Payday Loans Act, 2008, which governs all lenders serving Peel Region. 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.
