Regina is Saskatchewan's capital, so government, Crown corporations and insurance employ a big share of the city, alongside agriculture, potash and a large refinery. Much of that work is steady, but costs aren't: winter, car repairs and rent increases still create short gaps. Payday lenders in Regina are tightly regulated by the province. Here's what that means, and what to try first.
What do Regina borrowers need to know?
Every payday lender serving Saskatchewan must hold an FCAA licence, and the cost cap of $14 per $100 includes every fee. A lender can’t refinance your loan into a bigger one. If you’re borrowing again and again, the FCAA’s consumer staff and non-profit counsellors can walk you through your options.
Where do people in Regina borrow?
Storefronts are mainly along Albert Street, Victoria Avenue East and Dewdney Avenue, and online lenders licensed in Saskatchewan also serve the city. Before signing, ask what happens if a payment is returned, and get the total cost in dollars in writing.
What cheaper options does Regina have?
The Regina Food Bank runs food programs and financial empowerment services. Conexus Credit Union, based in Regina, offers small personal loans and advice to members. SaskPower and SaskEnergy both offer payment arrangements on overdue bills, which cost nothing and can save you a loan entirely.
What does a Regina payday loan cost next to the alternatives?
A $400 loan costs $56 at the cap. A SaskPower arrangement on a $400 overdue bill costs nothing. A credit union overdraft for two weeks usually costs a couple of dollars. A cash advance on a credit card costs a fee plus interest from the first day, often $10 to $15 for two weeks. The payday loan is fast and doesn’t usually depend on your credit score, but for most people in Regina at least one of the cheaper options is open.
Residents of Moose Jaw, White City and Pilot Butte often borrow in Regina; the same FCAA rules apply.
If you work for the province, a Crown corporation or a large insurer in Regina, check your benefits package for an employee and family assistance program before borrowing. Most include free, confidential financial counselling, and some employers offer emergency salary advances in a genuine crisis. Asking costs nothing and often turns up help you didn’t know existed.
