Why borrow $300?
A $300 loan is the largest micro amount Speedy Money offers – the go-to when a bigger surprise hits, like a rent shortfall, a larger repair, or an unexpected emergency before payday. It is the most you can borrow with us, which keeps you firmly in small, fast, low-cost territory rather than a long personal loan.

What a $300 loan Canada costs
Because the amount and term are small, the dollar cost stays low – and every lender follows Canada’s 35% APR cap. Here is an illustrative example for a $300 loan:
| Amount | Example term | Illustrative cost* | Total to repay* |
|---|---|---|---|
| $300 | 4 weeks | ~$16.15 | ~$316.15 |
*Illustrative only, capped at 34.99% APR. Your real rate, fees and total cost are set by your matched lender and shown before you sign. Source: Financial Consumer Agency of Canada.
Who is a $300 loan Canada for?
A $300 loan Canada-wide is built for working Canadians who need a small, short-term top-up rather than a big personal loan. If you are employed full-time or part-time, have a Canadian bank account for IBV, and can repay on your next payday, a $300 loan Canada is a fast, low-cost option. Because a $300 loan Canada is income-based, your credit score is not the deciding factor – which is why many people choose a $300 loan Canada over a bank that would decline them or push a far larger loan.
How a $300 loan Canada compares to the alternatives
Before taking a $300 loan Canada, it is worth checking cheaper options such as an employer pay advance or a credit-union small loan. But when you need money today and the amount is small, a $300 loan Canada is usually faster and simpler than a bank, with the full cost shown up front under the 35% APR cap. That is the trade-off a $300 loan Canada is built for: speed and access for a genuinely small amount.
Frequently asked questions
Is $300 the most I can borrow?
Yes. $300 is the top of the Speedy Money micro range. If you genuinely need more, a small personal loan from another lender may suit you better – but for fast, low-cost borrowing, $300 is our ceiling.
Can I get a $300 loan with bad credit?
Yes – all credit is considered. A $300 loan is approved mainly on your employment income via IBV, not your credit score.
How fast is a $300 loan funded?
Quickly – often the same day. After IBV income verification and e-signing, funds usually arrive by Interac e-Transfer within minutes.
