About lender
ConsumerCapital Canada is an alternative personal loan provider that’s been around since 2018.
The company's physical headquarters is based in Toronto, Ontario, but the company operates entirely online. ConsumerCapital Canada is a Canadian alternative lender that is committed to helping consumers gain access to fast and affordable loans that fit their unique needs. Whether the client is looking to cover the cost of an unexpected expense or needs to make a large purchase, ConsumerCapital Canada can help by offering personal loans from $500 to $12,500.
The customer can count on a seamless process to get his personal loan as the company offers a fully online application method. A potential borrower can sign their documents and receive the funds all online and from the comfort of their home.
The company says it is obsessed with helping its clients master their finances and strongly believes in treating them as partners. That is why all of its loans get approved by human credit analysts who take the time to understand the potential financial health of the potential borrower.
ConsumerCapital Canada recommends considering the following costs when applying for a personal loan – usually, there are three main factors:
Interest rates: the interest rate is one of the most important factors to consider when taking on a loan, as it dictates how much money the client will be paying to borrow. At ConsumerCapital Canada, personal loan interest rates range from 19.99% to 34.99%.
The longer the repayment term is, the more interest the client will pay, but the lower and more affordable the payments. Similarly, the shorter the repayment term is, the less interest the client will pay, but his monthly payments will be higher. For example, at ConsumerCapital Canada, personal loan terms range from 12 months to 60 months.
Fees: along with interest, the lender may charge origination fees, administrative fees, and other related fees. These are important to consider as they can add up quickly and affect the cost of the loan.

There can be found some negative feedback regarding this loan platform.
The company has got a confusing website – on the front page of the website, and there is information that the maximum amount of money a person can borrow equals $12,500—however, another piece of text on this page states that the most significant borrowed sum can be $15,000. In addition, different internet sources give different information regarding the minimum monthly income required for getting a loan – some say it is $1,600, others say it is $1,900. There is also contradicting data regarding the minimum term of the loan – some internet sources say it is 12 months, and others say it is 24 months.
