Loan Overview
Responsible Lending Statement
At Cash Depot, we are committed to responsible lending practices. We encourage all applicants to carefully consider their ability to repay before taking out a loan. Our loans are designed for short-term financial needs and should not be used as a long-term financial solution.
Before applying, please ensure that:
- You have reviewed your budget and can afford the repayments
- You understand the total cost of borrowing
- You have explored all other financial options available to you
- You are borrowing only what you need
Cost of Borrowing Example
Example: A $300 loan at 18% APR over 6 months:
- Principal: $300
- Weekly Payment: Approximately $46.22
- Total Number of Payments: 26 weekly payments
- Total Cost of Credit: Approximately $102
- Total Amount Payable: Approximately $402
* This is an example only. Your actual loan terms, payments, and total cost may vary based on the amount borrowed and other factors. All costs will be disclosed in your Loan Agreement before you accept the loan.

- Have a regular source of income
- Have a valid email address and phone number
- Not be currently in active bankruptcy (consumer proposals may be considered)
No Credit Check Policy
We do not perform traditional credit checks that affect your credit score. We use alternative methods to assess your application, focusing on your current financial situation rather than your credit history. This means:
- Applying does not affect your credit score
- Bad credit or no credit history will not automatically disqualify you
- We consider your income and ability to repay
