How Fast Can I Get Money?
Soyra is built for speed. Here's what to expect.
- Once approved by one of our lender partners, funds arrive in as little as 15 minutes via Interac e-Transfer.
- Timing depends on your bank and the time of day you apply. Weekend and holiday processing may take longer.
- You'll receive your funds directly into your Canadian bank account—no fees for the transfer.
- Most approvals happen within minutes, but final funding speed is controlled by your financial institution.
- If you don't see funds within the stated timeframe, contact your lender partner or your bank.
Loan Amounts and Repayment Terms
Understand what you can borrow and how repayment works.
- Soyra facilitates loans from $100 to $3,000 CAD, depending on your income and the lender partner's policies.
- Payday loans are short-term products, typically due on your next payday or within a set period (usually 2 weeks).
- Your lender partner will explain the exact repayment date and amount at the time of approval.
- Repayment is usually automatic—your lender will deduct the full amount from your bank account on the due date.
- Some lenders offer flexible repayment options if you can't pay on time. Contact your lender to discuss alternatives.
- Never borrow more than you can afford to repay. Payday loans are high-cost products meant for short-term needs only.
Fees, Interest, and Total Cost
Payday loans are short-term and high-cost. Here's what you should know.
- Payday loans carry interest rates and fees that are significantly higher than traditional bank loans.
- The exact cost depends on your lender partner, the loan amount, and your province's regulations.
- Your lender partner must disclose all fees and the total amount you'll repay before you complete your application.
- Soyra does not charge you a fee for our referral service—our lender partners pay us.
- Always review the full terms and conditions from your lender before accepting the loan.
- Payday loans should only be used for short-term cash emergencies, not as a long-term borrowing solution.
