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.
