Things to Consider Before You Borrow

A child tax benefit loan is meant to bridge a short-term gap, not to be an ongoing source of income. A few things to keep in mind:

📆

Repayment lines up with your benefit

Loan terms are structured so repayment can be timed around your CCB deposit or next pay period.

⚖️

Borrow only what you need

Since payday loans carry a higher cost of borrowing than a line of credit or credit card, it's best used for a genuine short-term shortfall.

📄

Know the full cost upfront

Your exact repayment amount is disclosed before you sign — there are no hidden or surprise fees.

🔁

Not a long-term solution

If you find yourself relying on short-term loans regularly, our responsible lending page outlines other resources worth considering. Our Canadian Household Affordability Report 2026 also looks at how child benefits and rising costs interact for many Canadian families.

Frequently Asked Questions — Child Tax Payday Loans

Can I get a payday loan if my main income is Child Tax Benefit?

Yes. We accept Canada Child Benefit (CCB) payments as qualifying income, provided you meet our minimum income and bank requirements.

Is there a credit check for child tax payday loans?

No. We do not run a traditional credit check. Approval is based on your benefit income and bank account history.

How quickly can I receive funds?

Once approved, funds are sent via Interac E-Transfer, with sends going out every 20 minutes during business hours.

What is the maximum I can borrow on a child tax loan?

You can borrow up to $1,500 or 50% of your net income per pay period, whichever is lower.

Are child tax payday loans available outside Ontario and Saskatchewan?

Currently we are licensed to lend in Ontario and Saskatchewan only.

Can I get a loan online using my child tax credit?

Yes — our full application, approval, and funding process is online start to finish. You don't need to visit a branch; Child Tax Benefit / Canada Child Benefit income qualifies the same as employment income, subject to our minimum income and bank history requirements.

Do you offer child tax loans in other provinces, like Manitoba or Nova Scotia?

We're currently licensed to lend only in Ontario and Saskatchewan. If you're outside those provinces, we can't fund a loan at this time, but you're welcome to browse our responsible lending resources.

Is a child tax loan the same as a payday loan?

Yes — a "child tax loan" or "CCB loan" is just a payday loan where Child Tax Benefit / Canada Child Benefit income is used to qualify. Same cost structure applies: $14 per $100 borrowed, 62-day maximum term.
