General Questions

ACL offers personal loans, business loans, construction loans, home equity loans and debt consolidation services for Americans, Australians and Canadians. We also partner with leading retailers and auto dealerships across the country to offer customer financing options.
Lenders serve different customers, based on their credit score and borrowing risk. Banks and credit unions provide full-service banking to ‘prime’ customers — they take in customer deposits and lend money using the deposits they hold. ACL is a money re-lender or retailer, and our products and services reflect that difference. If you’re in the good to fair credit score range (prime or fairly close), you may qualify for a loan from ACL. We’ll work with you one-on-one to make sure the loan solution you choose is right for you.
You can mail your cheque or money order to the head branch. Be sure to send your payment 3–5 business days before the payment is due to ensure it arrives on time. You can also sign up for online account management to manage your loan quickly and conveniently online.
ACL obtains mailing lists from a variety of list vendors. These vendors provide information found in the public domain, such as public telephone directories, as well as third-party information obtained through sources like online websites, companies that do surveys in shopping malls, contest entries, and retail partners. The list vendors receive the individual’s consent to share the names and addresses with third party companies like ACL, and adhere to American privacy regulations. We respect Americans’ privacy preferences. If you do not want to receive our Marketing materials, we can add you to our do-not-mail data base.

About ACL Loans

When you get approved for an installment loan, you receive the money as a lump sum. Then you pay back the loan through a set amount of payments, or ‘installments.’ The time you take to pay back your loan can vary, and is called your loan term.
Secured loans are backed by an asset, like the equity in a house. Securing a loan can help you gain access to lower interest rates and potentially borrow more money than you could with an unsecured loan. In contrast, unsecured loans don’t require collateral to borrow money. While interest rates may be higher on unsecured loans, the application process is often quicker.
Credit cards charge compound interest – what is usually referred to as “paying interest on interest.” If you’re consistently carrying a credit card balance, you should consider paying off the full balance of your credit card with a debt consolidation loan to avoid accrued interest charges.
Loan payments vary based on loan amount, loan term, payment schedule and interest rate. Use this loan calculator tool to estimate what your loan payments could be, or request a loan quote for a more personalized result. Change the options to see how the different factors increase or decrease your loan payments.
Personal loans can be used for any purpose that requires funds up front, and are most commonly used to consolidate debt. Since you pay back the loan through a set schedule of payments, personal loans can be easier to budget for and often help you decrease outstanding debts faster, saving you money on interest. Personal loans can also be used to help cover urgent or unexpected expenses like home repairs, car repairs, medical bills and vet bills, all of which require money up front.
There are no fees for paying off an unsecured loan early, so here are few simple ways you can pay off your loan faster:
  • Choose a bi-weekly payment option. By paying bi-weekly, you’ll make 26 payments a year and can reduce the balance of your loan faster, compared to semi-monthly payments (24 payments a year) or monthly payments (12 payments a year).
  • Switch to automatic payments to avoid late or missed payments.
  • Round up your payments. For example, if your payment is $278, make a payment of $350 instead.

Products and services

Interest rates vary based on your credit score and payment history. Our rates start at 2.99% for secured personal loans, and 4.99% for unsecured personal loans.
Every loan from ACL has fixed rates, which means your rate and payment will not change for the entire term of your loan. However, if you have an adjustment of terms to your loan, your monthly scheduled payments, rate and term may change.
ACL does not charge any administration fees on personal or business loans. On a secured loan, fees may apply and vary by province/territory. Fees may include a home valuation, title examination and insurance fees, administration fees and other applicable fees.
You can pay off your unsecured loans at any time without a pre-payment penalty or extra charge. On a personal or business loan for homeowners, prepayment fees may apply and vary by province/territory.

Personal Loans

ACL personal loans use daily simple interest. The interest is calculated on a daily basis based on the outstanding balance (or principle) of your loan. Every time you make a payment, a portion of your payment goes to interest and a portion of your payment to principle. After each payment your balance goes down, and the interest is calculated on your lower balance.
The amount of money you can borrow depends on a few factors:
  • Income: We take into consideration your job stability and set you up with loan a payment that’s manageable for your income level
  • Credit history: We’ll look at your past borrowing history to determine an appropriate loan amount
  • Homeownership status: Homeowners can borrow a larger amount of money if they secure their loan against their house

If you’d like to find out how much money you could qualify for before visiting a branch, use our instant quote tool to request a free, no-obligation loan quote.
Once your account is created , you can use the ACL loan management system to set your payments to Automatic, go to setting under your account page and select payment, click the edit button and select the automatic option from the dropdown list.
There are two types of factors that influence interest rates – individual factors that you can control, and economic factors that are outside your control. Individual factors like your credit score, employment status, homeownership status and the loan term you choose are things that you can influence to help you get a lower interest. Economic factors are things you don’t have much control over, and include inflation rate, policy interest rate, prime rate and demand.
