Despite the name of the business, Viva Payday Loans says it offers access to loans of up to $5,000 that can be repaid over 61 days to 72 months.<\/li><li><strong>Missing registration.<\/strong> We couldn\u2019t find Viva Payday Loans in Canada\u2019s Business Registries.<\/li><li><strong>Missing contact information.<\/strong> We couldn\u2019t find an office address, phone number or email address on its website.<\/li><li><strong>\u201cNo refusal.\u201d<\/strong> One page on the Viva Payday Loans website mentions that you can use the platform to obtain \u201cno refusal payday loans.\u201d However, responsible lenders will need to assess your income to determine whether you can afford to repay a loan, and promising guaranteed approval can be a sign of a loan scam. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/ca\/cash-advance-apps\/no-refusal-loans-canada\">Learn more in our no refusal loans guide.<\/a><\/li><\/ul><h3 id=\"alternatives\">Alternative: Cash advances<\/h3>\nCash advances can be much cheaper, with APRs as low as 0% and flexible repayment terms.
