Questions from Waterloo
What loan options are there in Waterloo?
Waterloo borrowers can compare the same national loan types as anywhere in Ontario — personal, instalment, car, home equity, mortgage, business and debt consolidation products — plus short-term credit where Ontario licenses it.
Do I have to borrow from a lender in Waterloo?
No. Most loans in Canada are arranged online or by phone, so the lender does not have to be in your city. What matters is that the lender is licensed to lend in your province and that you understand the total cost.
How do I complain about a lender in Waterloo?
Start with the lender's own complaint process. If that does not resolve it, federally regulated institutions go to the Financial Consumer Agency of Canada, and provincially licensed lenders go to the provincial consumer protection office.
