Mogo line of credit: rates, eligibility and review

Last reviewed November 12, 2026 by the Koke editorial team.

Mogo is a Vancouver-based, publicly listed fintech whose MogoMini line of credit lends $500 to $5,000 at 34.37% interest in eight provinces, including Ontario. Pre-approval uses a soft credit check. If you repay the principal within 100 days, Mogo says it refunds the interest and fees you paid.

Is Mogo licensed where I live?

Mogo 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.

Apply now opens Koke’s application page, which sends your answers to our matching partner LeadScout. It may match you with Mogo or with other lenders. Koke may be paid for referrals and for clicks to lender websites; that never changes our rating. Disclosure

This is not a payday loan: Mogo charges interest over time (34.37% annual interest rate) 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 Mogo works

Mogo runs entirely through its website and app. You pre-qualify with a soft credit check that leaves your score alone, upload documents, and usually get a final answer within a few business hours. Once approved you draw what you need, up to your limit, by deposit or e-Transfer, and you pay interest only on what you’ve drawn.

What to watch

The low minimum payment is the trap here: it covers interest and optional-service fees but none of the principal, so $2,000 drawn can stay $2,000 owed for a year while you pay about $690 in interest. Set your own payment plan from the start. The 100-day guarantee is genuinely useful if you can clear the principal quickly.

What we like

  • 100-day guarantee refunds interest and fees if you repay the principal in time
  • Soft check to see whether you pre-qualify
  • No penalty for paying the balance down early

What to watch

  • Minimum payments cover only interest, so the balance never shrinks unless you pay more
  • On-time payments are not reported to the credit bureaus
  • Not offered in Quebec or Saskatchewan
