Amazing experience at LendDirect Terminal Avenue, Nanaimo! Huge shout-out to Brittany, so calm, friendly, helpful, and polite. She even gave my son toy cars, which he loved! Everything was explained clearly. Came back a few days later and Mike was fantastic too. Every staff member here is professional and supportive. Getting my line of credit was smooth and stress-free. Highly recommend!

Brittany helped me today with my questions and concerns, she is so so pleasant to speak with & answered all my questions perfectly! I’ve never had such a positive experience before with a loan place as I do here at cash money. I truly wish I knew about them years ago! They are the best in that buisness & in what they do & how they treat all customers/clients.
I can’t say enough positive things !!!
Thank you so much Brittany for not being annoyed with my annoying multiple questions (LOL) you’re the b

A Line of Credit is a personal loan that can be used for ongoing personal expenses. It gives you access to your money when you need it. Once you’re approved, you will receive your loan credit limit. You have the flexibility to borrow any amount at any time, up to your approved credit limit. No need to reapply to access funds – if you have available credit, you can request additional advances.
What do I need to apply for a Line of Credit?
To apply with LendDirect, you will need to be at least 18 years old and have the following:

What is a Line of Credit advance?
Simply put, an advance is a convenient Line of Credit feature that allows you to withdraw funds from your personal Line of Credit when you need them.
