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.
Getting an online loan with us is fast and easy. Simply select your loan amount, repayment plan* and provide some personal details.
Our online loan application will tell you if you’re approved instantly. Once approved, all you have to do is electronically sign your contract. It’s that easy!
Once you sign your digital agreement, your cash advance will be sent by Interac e-Transfer within 2 minutes. Fast, convenient and hassle-free. Funds are sent 24/7, no matter what.
Applying with iCash is straightforward, and eligibility requirements are the same whether you live in downtown Vancouver or right here in Coquitlam. Here is what you need:
Be at least 19 years old
Be a resident of any of the provinces in which we operate
Show that you have been receiving the same source of income for the past three months
Have a total net income of at least $800/month
Have access to an online bank account, in which pre-authorized debits can be performed*
Have a valid Canadian mobile phone number, address, and email address (VoIP numbers are not accepted)
*Please note that KOHO accounts do not qualify as they do not support pre-authorized debits.
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.

Coquitlam anchors the Tri-Cities, where a heavy share of residents commute into Vancouver for work and the arrival of SkyTrain has driven rapid densification and rising housing costs. Incomes here sit close to the provincial average, but an aging population and a commuter-dependent lifestyle add pressure to household budgets. Against British Columbia's broader affordability squeeze, an unexpected expense between paycheques can be tough to absorb.
In Coquitlam, the median household income comes in around $92,000, slightly above what's typical across the province (Statistics Canada, Census Profile 2021). That figure only tells part of the story, though.
Average rent in Coquitlam has climbed to roughly $2,050 per month, in line with much of the Tri-Cities
Groceries for an average family run about $760 per month
Coquitlam residents on TransLink pay $211.65 for a three-zone monthly pass to reach Vancouver, with a one-zone pass at $117.20 for travel closer to home
Average consumer debt load: $24,808 (Equifax, Q3 2025)
Renters as a share of households: roughly 31% (Statistics Canada, 2021 Census)
With a rent-to-income ratio of roughly 27% and an unemployment rate of 6.2% (Statistics Canada, Labour Force Survey — Vancouver CMA), many Coquitlam households sit close to the provincial-average income but still feel the squeeze of Metro Vancouver housing and commuting costs. When an unexpected expense lands between paycheques, even a few hundred dollars can make the difference between staying on track and falling behind.
In 2025 alone, more than 32,000 British Columbians turned to us for short-term funds.
If you're looking for free, judgment-free financial guidance, SHARE Family & Community Services provides support programs and resources across the Tri-Cities, including Coquitlam. And if you're short between paycheques, we're here to help bridge that gap.
A payday loan works best as a short-term bridge, not a routine part of your budget. Before you apply, take a few minutes to map out your next paycheque against what you owe: rent, groceries, transit or vehicle costs, and anything else due around the same time.
If the repayment date doesn't leave enough room to cover those essentials, it's worth reconsidering the amount you borrow, or whether now is the right time to borrow at all. If you're finding that you need short-term credit every month rather than occasionally, that's usually a sign it's worth looking at the bigger picture. The Financial Consumer Agency of Canada (FCAC) is a good starting point for learning about your rights and options as a borrower in British Columbia.
Whether you live or commute across the Tri-Cities and Metro Vancouver, iCash works the same way wherever you are. You can also get a payday loan in Vancouver, Port Coquitlam, or Burnaby — all online, with no branch visit and same-day e-Transfer funding.
