Who can be my guarantor?

< Back to FAQs

A guarantor is someone who trusts you to make your loan payments, and is also happy to make any you do not.

Many customers use a friend or family member, as they tend to know you best, but a guarantor could be anyone. Just to give you an idea, we see neighbours, work colleagues and employers guaranteeing loans, too.

Remember, your guarantor needs to:

• Be aged 19-75.
• Have a Canadian address.
• Have a strong credit score with a history of always paying their bills on time.
• Be able to afford the monthly payments if you didn’t pay.
