While they sound similar, they aren’t. A good starting point is to ask yourself why you need to borrow money. Is it to fund a one-time purchase, or to provide yourself with an ongoing financial buffer? You can't re-borrow from a loan, while a line of credit has a limit you can draw from, repay, and draw from again.

Fixed Rate

A fixed interest rate stays the same for the term chosen. It’s ideal if you’re looking for set payments, and want to know exactly when the loan will be paid off.

Variable Rate

A variable interest rate changes whenever our prime rate changes. It’s ideal if you’re not worried about changing interest rates, and want to benefit when interest rates decrease.

If interest rates decrease, more of your regular payment goes towards your principal, so you can pay off your loan faster.

If interest rates increase, more of your regular payment goes towards interest, and amortization period will increase. Your regular payment may have to be adjusted periodically.

On average, you can expect to pay approximately 25% of the eligible expense, due at the time of purchase. You may wish to talk with one of our representatives for more information.

Our lending experts will review your credit history and experience, as well as your short and long-term financial goals to help you find the best borrowing option for you.
