How payday loans work in Warman
Warman, just north of Saskatoon, is one of Saskatchewan's fastest-growing communities, with many young families and daily commuters into the city.
Every payday loan in Warman follows Saskatchewan's Payday Loans Act and is licensed by the Financial and Consumer Affairs Authority (FCAA). You can borrow $100 to $1,500, but no more than 50% of your net pay for the pay period. The cost can't exceed $14 per $100, you can only have one payday loan with a lender at a time, and you can cancel until the end of the next business day.
What a payday loan costs in Warman
| You borrow | $400 |
|---|---|
| Maximum cost ($14 per $100) | $56 |
| Total to repay | $456 |
| Due | One payment on your next payday |
| Take-home pay needed (50% rule) | At least $800 per pay period |
| APR on a 14-day loan | 365% |
Rollovers aren't allowed in Saskatchewan, so a lender can't extend your loan for another fee. If a payment bounces, the lender can charge one dishonoured payment fee of up to $20, and lenders can't charge you anything upfront.
Borrowing in Warman: what to know
For commuting families, a car problem and a childcare bill can arrive in the same week. Before borrowing, check whether a smaller loan would cover the most urgent cost, since the whole amount is due on your next payday.
Getting your money in Warman
You can apply from anywhere in Warman, including Osler, Dalmeny and north Saskatoon. Once you e-sign your agreement, your lender sends the loan by Interac e-Transfer. Weekday morning applications are often funded within a few hours; evening and weekend applications usually fund the next business day.
Every lender we work with is licensed by the FCAA, which keeps a public list of licensed payday lenders. If a website offering loans in Warman isn't on that list, or asks for a fee upfront, don't apply.
