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:
A valid ID
An open bank account in your name
Proof of recurring income
Be a Canadian resident
How can I apply?
You can apply online, over the phone or at a branch. To see if LendDirect services your province, visit our loans page.
If I apply online, how long will it take to get a lending decision?
During business hours, applicants may receive a pre-approval decision almost immediately. Should final approval require verification, you will be notified immediately. Once we received your files, you should have your final lending decision shortly, no later than 48 hours, often the same day.
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. LendDirect offers unlimited advances up to your credit limit, all with no advance fees. You can access advances online, over the phone, or at a branch, if you have available credit.
