About the CPLA
The Canadian Payday Loan Association (CPLA) represents 24 companies with 535 retail financial services outlets across Canada.
Our member companies service nearly 2 million Canadians a year by providing short term loans in small amounts to help cover unanticipated expenses and/or cheque cashing services.
The CPLA is not your typical industry association. We’re calling for regulation, not fighting it. And we’re a leader in best business practices and consumer protection.
Our mandate is to work with governments toward a national regulatory framework that will allow for a viable industry and protect consumers.
Our members adhere to a strict Code of Best Business Practices.
We take our mandate seriously, and membership in our association is a privilege.
