How it works

Simple, fast, free.

Three steps. You answer a few questions, we do the rest.

01

Answer a few questions

60 seconds, fully online. We learn your situation. No impact on your credit score.

02

We match you with a lender

We compare your request against a network of specialized lending partners who accept many different profiles.

03

Get your response

A lender reaches out to finalize. If everything lines up, funds are deposited quickly. You're always free to say no.

We may still have an option, even if…

Many of our lending partners accept profiles the big banks turn down.

  • You have bad credit
  • You've never borrowed before
  • You've had a bankruptcy or consumer proposal
  • You have missed payments
  • You've been declined by a bank
  • You're self-employed or have variable income
  • You're a newcomer to Canada with little or no credit history

Why Boreal Lending

We do things differently.

We're not a lender or a bank. We're an independent matching service that connects you with the right lender for your situation.

No hit to your credit

Checking your options uses a soft inquiry. No hard pull, no mark on your file just for applying.

Fast and 100% online

A few questions, no complicated paperwork. A quick response, without leaving home.

Private and secure

Your data is encrypted and handled under Canadian privacy law. Never sold to unrelated third parties.

100% free for you

Our service costs you nothing. Lenders pay us for the referral, not you.

FAQ

Your questions, answered.

Will my request affect my credit score?

No. Checking your options uses a soft inquiry that does not appear on your file and does not affect your score. A hard inquiry only happens if and when you accept a specific offer from a lender.

How much can I borrow?

Requests generally range from $500 to $2,500. The final amount depends on the lender and your situation (income, etc.).

Is it really free?

Yes, 100% free for you. Our service is free for consumers. Our lending partners pay us only when we refer a request to them.

Bad credit, bankruptcy or a consumer proposal — can I still apply?

Yes. Many lending partners accept these profiles. Approval and terms are always at the lender's discretion, but it's worth checking your options.

How long until I get a response?

Most people get a response quickly, often the same day or the next business day, depending on the lender and your profile.

Is my information safe?

Yes. Your data is encrypted and handled in accordance with Canadian privacy legislation (PIPEDA). It is shared only with our partner and its lending network to process your request, and never sold to unrelated third parties.

Am I obligated to accept?

No. A request commits you to nothing. If an offer works for you, you accept it; otherwise you're free to decline, at no cost.

Which provinces do you serve?

We operate across Canada — all provinces and territories. We're currently focused on Ontario, but you can apply from anywhere in the country.
