Is Venue Financial Centres licensed where I live?
Provincial regulators license payday lenders. Rows marked Verified were checked on the provincial register on the date shown. Rows marked Listed by lender are the provinces the lender says it is licensed in, which we haven’t checked yet. Either way, licences can change, so use the Verify link before you apply.

How applying with Venue Financial works
In BC you can visit one of its stores and leave with cash; in Alberta and Saskatchewan you apply online, send a photo of yourself holding your ID along with pay stubs and banking details, and receive an e-Transfer, typically within a couple of hours of approval. The $50 minimum is one of the lowest anywhere, which matters because you should never borrow more than the gap you’re covering.
What to watch
In April 2024, Consumer Protection BC fined Venue Financial $8,500 and ordered refunds after finding it had issued new payday loans to borrowers who already had one, and had failed to keep receipts for repaid loans. Both are basic borrower protections, so keep your own records of every payment and get your paid-out confirmation in writing. There are almost no customer reviews online, which makes the company harder to judge.
What we like
- Loans from $50, useful when you only need a small amount
- Accepts some non-employment income, including CPP and child benefit
- Online service in Alberta and Saskatchewan as well as BC
What to watch
- Fined $8,500 by Consumer Protection BC in 2024 for payday-loan rule violations
- Stores are in BC only; everywhere else is online
- You must be 19 or older, even where the age of majority is 18
