What is a personal loan?

Amount granted is determined by:
- Your payment capacity
- The amount you're asking for
- The useful life of the financed product (in certain cases)
Interest rate
- Fixed or variable
- Based on the loan amount, term and credit history
Fixed rate
Choose a fixed interest rate if you're cautious and sensitive to rate fluctuations. A fixed rate remains stable for the duration of the loan.
You can switch to a variable rate at any time without fee or penalty.
Variable rate
Choose a variable interest rate if you can tolerate risk and rate fluctuations. A variable rate is generally lower than the fixed rate in effect but may increase or decrease at any time depending on our prime rate.
When rates drop, your payment amount remains the same, but you may be able to pay back your loan faster than expected.
You can switch to a fixed rate at any time without fee or penalty. Your interest rate will equal the fixed rate in effect at the time you switch.
Terms

Repayment
