Every partner in the network follows Canadian cost-of-borrowing laws and discloses the full cost of your loan — including the APR, always within the 35% cap — before you sign anything.
We do the comparison shopping so you don't have to apply to lenders one at a time.
Apply once and get matched with multiple lenders at the same time.
Read-only income verification in about 60 seconds — no faxing pay stubs.
Approval looks at your full-time or part-time income, not just your credit.
Comparing offers is free and never affects your credit score.
Loanspot matches Canadians with loans from $20 up to $50,000. Smaller amounts work well for an unexpected bill or an e-transfer top-up before payday, while larger personal loans are commonly used for debt consolidation, a vehicle, home repairs, a medical or dental bill, or another major cost. Because the funds aren't restricted to a single purpose, you borrow what you need and repay on a schedule that fits your budget.

The right amount is the smallest one that covers your need — borrowing more than necessary just increases what you repay. Explore personal loans, bad credit loans or debt consolidation, or simply apply and compare.
