Canada’s #1 Source for Private Loans
Loans come in many different shapes and sizes which means that there is often a wide range to choose from. You may have heard of a private loan before and you might not be aware of what it is or whether you should get one.
What is a private loan?
Private loans are simply loans that are from a lender that isn’t the government. This can be a bank, a credit union, or any other lender that is not tied to the government.
Would I be able to get a private loan?
As there are a lot of different lenders who could provide a private loan, the criteria for obtaining a private loan are just as varied. Banks and other formal institutions may require you to meet the strictest criteria, while a payday loan company may need next to nothing.
However, choosing to take a payday loan may not be the best plan even if you are suffering from poor credit. People with poor credit can still obtain small short-term loans from other lenders that aren’t banks, aren’t government-backed, and aren’t payday lenders.
Canada’s #1 Source for Private Loans
Our Private Loans are called “Installment Loans“.
Please borrow responsibly.
Installment loans - Private loans for everyone
An installment loan is a small loan of up to $1500 that most Canadians can apply for. They are more flexible than taking out a payday loan as the balance (plus interest) needs to be repaid within 90 to 120 days rather than the shorter time period that is common with payday loans, and instead of repaying with a single lump sum the balance is cleared in installments.
This means that you don’t need to find the full amount quickly (which can leave you worse off than before), and you can pay it in a more comfortable manner.
Poor credit is not a problem as there are no credit checks involved in obtaining an installment loan, which means installment loans are a type of private loan that can be acquired easily.
Small private loans can help you when you receive an unexpected bill or decide that you need to buy something special as a gift for the holidays. If your vehicle needs repairing or some other large expense needs paying, a private loan from an installment loan provider can save the day.
Getting a private loan doesn’t have to be stressful and most are approved on the same day, which means you will receive the cash you need within hours.

Depending on the risk associated with the application, Our lenders charge an APR ( Annual percentage rate) of 22% to 32%. Membership fees do apply. Please refer to our "Example Cost of Borrowing" section for more information.

What Makes us better than Payday Lenders
Typically, Payday Loan providers require borrowers to finalize entirely on their next paycheck. The costs associated with payday loans vary from province to province.
The ABR (Annualized Borrowing Rate) for

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a cash advance?
A cash advance is a short term financial solution, often used to cover car repairs, collection notices or any other type of unexpected expenses. Short-term cash advance services fulfill a need not met by traditional financial institutions, offering a less costly and often more desirable option for short-term loans.
A non-traditional cash advance is often the best way to receive a quick loan. Industry group CFSA reports that non-sufficient funds (NSF) cost consumers tens of billions of dollars each year from banks and credit unions. CFSA notes that millions of people each year “choose payday advance as a dignified, discreet, and often less costly solution for cash flow problems, without asking family for money or risking personal items as collateral.”
Many applicants also struggle to attain traditional financing despite having excellent credit. Many of them need quick access to working capital. Online lenders have emerged as a welcome alternative for borrowers everywhere. Online lenders are increasingly being used by consumers and businesses to get fast access to capital outside of banks. Also known as marketplace lenders, they “have leveraged low operating costs, minimal regulations, Big Data, and technology streamlined for a mobile generation to mediate terms between everyday borrowers who want quick access to cash.

We like to keep things simple.
- You must be over 18 years of age
- You must be a Canadian citizen
- You must be employed full-time
- You must have an active bank account
- You must not be engaged in a consumer proposal
- You must complete an IBV (Instant Bank Verification)

However, ou lender's credit risk may assign a different amount than originally requested. This assures that the borrower will be able to reimburse the loan without any negative impact on their budget and/or financial situation.

What do I need to email or fax in?

Disadvantages of a Debt Management Program w/ Consolidated Credit

Offering Installment Loans in Canada, Even with Bad Credit
When Canadians find themselves in need of short-term loans, bad credit shouldn't stand in the way. And the repayment process for those loans should be as simple as paying rent or mortgage, phone plans, electricity and other monthly bills.
Installment loans offer the bridge you’re looking for when you’ve landed in a spot of financial trouble. The small and steady payments allow you to easily plan your budget accordingly. Most importantly you can usually obtain prompt approval for these loans without a credit check.
Here are some of the most frequent situations that may call for an installment loan:
Rent
It doesn’t matter who you are, you need a roof over your head. But an unexpected expense can cause anyone to be short on their rent, often a day or two before it is due.
Thankfully, an installment loan can help you in a few ways. First and foremost, you’ll have the cash to cover this month’s rent. And if you budget accordingly, the flexibility of an installment loan will also help you avoid falling behind financially in the future.
Car Payments
Falling behind on a car payment can be hazardous to your credit. An installment loan is a great solution that helps you make the necessary payments while allowing you to stay on course with your budget.
An installment loan can also help you phase out and replace a payday loan, which typically reduces additional financial concerns in the future.
Debt Consolidation
Are you caught in a payday loan cycle? Are you using a big part of your paycheck to cover your payday loans? Consolidating that debt with an installment loan allows you to have a single small payment, instead of seeing most of your paycheck disappear as soon as you receive it.
If you have Bad Credit
Even people with bad credit are usually able to take out our installment loans. The benefits of that can be huge; you get somewhere to turn to when you need money, and you don't have to do so at a further cost to your credit score.
According to credit.com, installment loans won’t negatively impact your credit. Individual installment loans don’t account for enough money to play a huge role in your credit score. In fact, the same blog explains that paying off an installment loan for a lengthier term has a positive influence over credit scoring models.
Avoid NSF Charges
Unpaid NSF fees are damaging to your credit. If they remain unpaid for 30 days, your account will be considered delinquent and reported to the credit bureau. Delinquent accounts do harm your credit score and can further complicate your situation. 514Loans can help you avoid unnecessary NSF charges.
Holidays
When January 24th rolls around, most people are nervously anticipating their credit card bill from the holidays. Sometimes you have to financially overextend yourself during the holidays so you’re able to purchase gifts for your friends. Other times it’s a big family trip you couldn’t back out of, even though you were a little light on funds.
Regardless, an installment loan can help you recover from the financial stress of the holidays.
No Credit Check Loans
Benefit From Our Policy
Our applicants are not subject to credit checks. We use your banking transactions as well as other criteria to assess your request. We give you a clean slate. We believe in second chances, and we will take a chance with you when nobody else will.
What is a short term loan good for?
It should be considered as a bridge money to pay for urgent bills and not a method to increase your credit. Our rate are higher because we take a lot of risk with lending to someone with having done a credit check when issuing a customer a loan.
Short Term Loans
We understand that there are limits to how much you can stretch your paycheck in order to accommodate unforeseen expenses. Don't worry, we've got your back when it comes to installment loans in Canada.
Our Loan Rates
Our lenders charge an APR (annual percentage rate) of 22% to 32% depending on the risk score of the application.
Repayment Example
A 300$ loan with an APR of 32% is refundable in 6 bi-weekly payments of approximately $75. This example includes all the fees associated with the borrowed capital over the three months.
Terms of Repayment
Our installment loans are repayable within a period of 90 to 120 days. Longer loan terms are available for loans over $1000.
Borrow Responsibly
Abusing microloans can cause negative impacts to your financial well-being due to their higher interest rates. The interest rate on an installment loan is higher than conventional financial institutions and should be used only for emergencies.
