Key Takeaway
iCash lends up to $1,500 to BC residents at a flat cost of $14 per $100 borrowed. There's no credit check required on repeat loans, funds typically arrive within minutes of signing by Interac e-Transfer®, and the entire process happens online or through our app, wherever you are in the province.
A payday loan is meant to cover a short-term cash gap, not to serve as an ongoing source of income. With iCash, you can borrow from $100 to $1,500, based on your income and eligibility.
Rather than repaying everything in one lump sum, British Columbia permits up to 3 installment payments spread across a 62-day window (applicants with a monthly pay frequency are only eligible for 1 repayment term). You can find the full set of rules by checking out BC's payday loan lending rules.
The borrowing fee with iCash is $14 for every $100 borrowed, a flat rate with no hidden charges, no compounding interest, and no additional fees. It's the maximum permitted under British Columbia regulations, and it's the only fee iCash charges. You'll see the full cost before you sign anything: borrow $200, for example, and the fee comes to $28 ($14 for each $100), for a total repayment of $228. The same ratio applies at every amount from $100 to $1,500.
Congratulations! Your loan is approved.

Payday Loans for Government Benefits Recipients
We don't limit applicants based on their income either. Whether you receive income from standard employment or government benefits like disability assistance, you can absolutely still qualify for a payday loan with us!
If your credit isn't in great shape, that's not a dealbreaker. We offer bad credit loan options in BC as well, because we believe you're more than a number. While we do conduct a credit check solely on your first loan, we won't base our lending decision on it.

North Vancouver offers mountains-and-ocean living minutes from downtown, but that desirability comes with some of the highest housing costs in the country and a rental stock that's aging and tight. Nearly half of residents rent, incomes sit below the provincial average, and commuting depends on a couple of bridges and the SeaBus, chokepoints that add both time and cost. Set against British Columbia's affordability squeeze, an unexpected bill between paycheques can be hard to absorb.
In North Vancouver, the median household income comes in around $86,000, below what's typical across the province (Statistics Canada, Census Profile 2021). That figure only tells part of the story, though.
Average rent in North Vancouver has climbed to roughly $2,600 per month, among the highest in Metro Vancouver, rivalling the city of Vancouver itself
Groceries for an average family run about $760 per month
North Vancouver residents on TransLink pay $156.70 for a two-zone monthly pass to reach Vancouver by SeaBus or bus, or $117.20 for a one-zone pass on the North Shore
Average consumer debt load: $24,808 (Equifax, Q3 2025)
Renters as a share of households: 46.7% (Statistics Canada, 2021 Census)
With a rent-to-income ratio of roughly 35%, one of the steepest in the region, and an unemployment rate of 6.2% (Statistics Canada, Labour Force Survey, Vancouver CMA), many North Vancouver households are stretched thin by housing costs even on solid incomes. When an unexpected expense lands between paycheques, that margin disappears fast.
In 2025 alone, more than 32,000 British Columbians turned to us for short-term funds.
