Loonie Financial is also listed in Quebec\u2019s business registry, and it has a high-cost credit licence in the same province.<\/p><p>But in addition to Loonie Financial, there are a number of other business names linked to the lender\u2019s high-cost credit licence, including Uncle Warbucks, Rapital Capital, Dash of Cash and Money Messiah. A quick Google search of these lenders reveals that they have previously fallen foul of regulators in the USA. For example:<\/p><ul><li>Uncle Warbucks, Money Messiah and Dash of Cash have all previously <a href=\"https:\/\/dfpi.ca.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/337\/2020\/05\/D-R-Uncle-Warbucks-Order-Voiding-2020.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">received desist and refrain orders<\/a> from the Department of Business Oversight of the State of California for making loans to California residents without a licence.<\/li><li>Rapital Capital <a href=\"https:\/\/www.michigan.gov\/difs\/-\/media\/Project\/Websites\/difs\/DO\/2022\/May\/Rapital_Capital_21-16460.pdf?rev=663d1d93ffe945c8ab7e4805800b85b9\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">received a 2022 cease and desist order<\/a> from Michigan\u2019s Department of Insurance and Financial Services for offering loans to Michigan consumers and charging interest higher than what is permitted under Michigan law.<\/li><\/ul><p>Our research also raised a few other issues.<\/p><ul><li><strong>No reviews.<\/strong> We couldn\u2019t find any reviews from Loonie Financial customers on independent websites.<\/li><li><strong>No BBB page.<\/strong> We couldn\u2019t find a Better Business Bureau page or BBB accreditation for Loonie Financial.<\/li><li><strong>Uncle Warbucks.<\/strong> Uncle Warbucks has an average score of 1\/5 from 15 BBB reviews, while the BBB has received 19 complaints about the lender in the past 3 years.<\/li><li><strong>Payday loan limit.<\/strong> The Loonie Financial homepage mentions \u201cinstallment payday loans,\u201d but the lender also claims to offer loans of up to $1,000. This is above the federally mandated payday loan limit of $1,500.<\/li><\/ul><p>That\u2019s why we recommend considering other options if you\u2019re looking for a loan.<\/p><h3>Alternatives to Loonie

You will then repay your loan over a period ranging from 62 to 160 days in 3, 6 or 12 installments.<\/p><p>The loan example provided on the Loonie Financial website says that if you borrow $500, the average amount you will have to repay is $660. However, we\u2019re not sure if this aligns with an APR of 32%. Let\u2019s say you borrow $500 at 32% APR and make repayments every 2 weeks for 5 months\u2014that still only works out to a total repayment of $536.87.<\/p><p>If your loan is unpaid, Loonie Financial says an interest rate of 2.66% per month applies.<\/p><article class=\"luna-card luna-card--primary luna-card--border\">\n  <div class=\"luna-card__block\" style=\"padding:0.7em\">\n<span style=\"font-size:0.9em; font-weight: 800; font-style: italic; text-transform: uppercase;\">Dive deeper: <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/ca\/personal-loans\" style=\"text-decoration:underline; font-size:0.9em;\">Have time?

This removes the need to upload any paperwork, speeding up the application and approval process.<\/p><p>Loonie Financial also offers instant bank verification, so you don\u2019t need to worry about gathering your documents together. However, you will need to upload proof of ID to confirm your identity.<\/p><h3>Bottom line<\/h3><p>A same-day online loan with no credit check may sound like a good deal, but proceed with caution. With high loan APRs and a few red flags around Loonie Financial, we recommend considering other lenders.<\/p><div id=\"source\"><div id=\"sources\" style=\"position: relative;\"><h3 style=\"position: absolute; width: 1px; height: 1px; padding: 0; margin: -1px; overflow: hidden; clip: rect(0,0,0,0); white-space: nowrap; border: 0;\">Sources<\/h3><div class=\"sources sources__f1\">\n    <link rel=\"stylesheet\" href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/parent-theme\/shortcodes\/article-source\/prod\/article-source.87684078d471e76125dd.css\">\n    \n  <ul class=\"luna-accordionGroup accordionGroup\">\n    <li class=\"luna-accordion\" data-accordion=\"accordion\">\n      <div class=\"luna-accordion__summary\">\n        <h3 class=\"luna-accordion__heading\">\n          <button class=\"luna-accordion__action collapsed\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"sources_1276751695\" data-toggle=\"collapse\" data-target=\"#sources_1276751695\">\n            <span class=\"luna-accordion__title u-text--lg u-font--bold\">Sources<\/span>\n            <svg class=\"luna-icon\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n              <use href=\"#chevron-down\" data-accordion-icon=\"show\"><\/use>\n              <use href=\"#chevron-up\" data-accordion-icon=\"hide\" class=\"is-hidden\"><\/use>\n            <\/svg>\n          <\/button>\n        <\/h3>\n      <\/div>\n      <div class=\"luna-accordion__details collapse \" aria-hidden=\"true\" id=\"sources_1276751695\" data-accordion=\"details\">\n        <div class=\"accordionContent\">\n          <p class=\"sources__description\">Finder writers are subject matter experts and use primary sources, in-depth research and interviews with other experts to ensure you're getting accurate, up-to-date information.
