Q: How do I reloan?

A: Short answer: As soon as our payment shows in your on-line banking, please visit our website and click ‘RELOAN NOW. Once you are logged in, please click ‘Apply for a Loan’ and follow the instructions to apply for a reloan with us.

Q: What do I need to qualify for a loan?

A: To qualify with us, you need to regularly receive income(not self-employed) of at least 1000.00 a month with a minimum of 2 payroll deposits with at least one deposit in the previous calendar month. You must be paid by direct deposit or cheque. You will need to provide proof of your income by submitting screen captures of your web-banking using the Inverite Verification application. We require a complete 180 days of banking history. Occasionally, we will also require a fax of a void cheque, recent pay stubs, a recent utility bill or other proof of address, or a bank stamped direct deposit authorization form.

Once we have the information we need, we evaluate each loan application individually. You will be informed by email whether you qualify, usually on the same day as your application.

Q: I am having trouble entering my birthdate, or other dates, on your form. How do I enter a date?

A: Dates on our form are entered in this format: YYYY-MM-DD. So for example, March 1st, 1981 would be entered as: 1981-03-01.

Christmas day 1975 would be: 1975-12-25.

Q: Can I borrow until 2 paydays from now?

A: If you live in BC, Alberta, or Nova Scotia that is no problem! Once you're finished your application and screen captures, just e-mail or call us and we can set that up for you. * Loans may not exceed 60 days in length.

If you live in Ontario, we are unable to extend this courtesy due to provincial regulations. However, you may contact us after your loan has been issued and we can reschedule your payment for you.

Q: I applied but was told that I do not qualify at this time. Can I re-apply later?

A: If your situation changes and you believe you might re-qualify, then please re-apply for a loan using the customer area of our website. There is no need for you to fill out another complete application. A customer service rep will be happy to update your file if you are unable to update the information electronically. Please remember that we can only process one application per 30 days.

Q: How do I know that you are a legitimate business and/or a legal payday lender?

Q: I got halfway through the application but was unable to get it finished. How do I carry on where I left off?

A: This depends on how far you got:

If you did not finish filling out the first application form, you will have to start over. Your web browser should remember most of the things you typed into each field though, if you hit the down arrow key on each field.

If you filled out the application form but did not download and install the screen capture program yet, you should check your email and find one from us titled "InstantPaydayCanada.com - Your loan is ready!". This email contains a link to download the Inverite verification application, as well as instructions on what to do.

Q: Your payment has come out of my account and my last loan is paid off. How do I apply for another one?

A: To apply for a reloan, simply take a new screen capture of your web banking. We will need to see a complete history back to the start of your last loan (or 60 days). We will see your submission and get back to you, usually within 15 minutes if we are open.

If you wish to borrow less or more than last time, send us an e-mail to getpaid@instantpaydaycanada.com or use the contact us form on the web site and let us know how much you'd like to borrow. We will update your application and contact you.

Q: My loan was paid back today. When can I apply for a reloan?

A: You can apply as soon as your online bank statement shows our payment coming out of your bank account. For detailed instructions, see our reloan guide.

Q: How much can I borrow on a reloan?

A: For returning customers (reloans), higher loan amounts may be available based on a review of banking transactions and payment history. Please note that increased loan amounts are not guaranteed, as all applications are assessed individually to ensure responsible lending practices.

Q: I need to move my repayment date! What do I do?

A: Please give us a call at 1-877-730-8406, or e-mail us . We typically require a partial payment on the loan due date in order to move the remaining balance to your next payroll date.

Q: Unfortunately, my payment has bounced. What now?

A: If your payment has bounced, you will start receiving e-mails from us asking you to get in touch with us. Even if these have not arrived yet and you notice the bounced payment in your web banking, you should call us right away. Failure to contact us in a timely fashion will probaby result in an NSF charge for you . Once we talk to you we can adjust our system not to attempt a payment until an agreed upon date when the money will be in your account.
