Is Fig licensed where I live?

Fig is not a payday lender, so it doesn’t hold payday-loan licences. The rows below are the provinces it says it serves. Lenders charging over 32% are licensed separately as high-cost credit lenders in some provinces, including Alberta and British Columbia; the Verify link goes to the same regulator, where you can search that register too.

This is not a payday loan: Fig charges interest over time (8.99% to 29.49% APR) instead of a fee per $100, and your exact rate is set when you apply. Read the total cost of borrowing on the lender’s quote before you sign.

How Fig works

Fig is a fully online lender backed by Fairstone Bank. You enter your details, a soft credit check produces a pre-qualified offer, and only if you accept does Fig run a hard check. You then pick the amount, term and payment frequency, and the money is deposited into the personal bank account your income goes to, usually within two business days.

What to watch

Fig’s approval bar is high: reviews put the minimum score around 680 to 700, with no recent collections, delinquencies or insolvency. If you’re turned down, Fig asks you to wait 30 days before reapplying. Fig also warns that fraudsters impersonate it; a genuine lender never asks for a payment before your loan is booked.

What we like

  • Top rate is under 30%, well below the 35% cap
  • See your rate with a soft check that doesn't touch your score
  • No monthly fees or early repayment penalties

What to watch

  • Fair or poor credit is unlikely to qualify
  • Minimum loan of $2,000, too large for a small emergency
  • Up to two business days to fund, so not for same-day needs
