Nova Scotia Rules

How the Law Treats Bad Credit Loans in Nova Scotia

Bad Credit Loans sit in the private, high-interest part of the market rather than in payday lending. Their rules come from federal law, not from Nova Scotia's payday-loan statute, and the criminal interest rate fixes the outer limit on cost.

RegulationWhat It Means in Cape Breton
Rules That ApplyCriminal Code s. 347 (a federal statute)
Maximum Annual Rate35% APR (the criminal rate)
How Much You Can Borrow$500–$5,000
How You RepaySet installments, paid month by month
Payday Licence Needed?Not required for this kind of credit
Cost Before You SignAPR and full cost shown before you sign

Nova Scotia: Bad Credit Loans are private high-interest credit rather than payday loans. A lender may offer them without a payday licence provided the effective annual rate stays at or under the federal criminal ceiling of 35% APR (Criminal Code s. 347). Check the APR and the total cost before you sign.
