📜 Compliance Support

Stay Compliant. Stay Profitable. Stay Ahead.

 

At Watson Capital & Consulting, we help payday lenders across Canada navigate the ever-changing landscape of lending regulations, licensing, and provincial and federal compliance. Whether you're launching your first loan business or scaling an existing operation, our compliance frameworks protect your business from fines, shutdowns, and license revocation—while keeping your systems agile and profitable.

​

Because in payday lending, compliance isn’t optional—it’s everything.

​

​

📍 Canada’s Lending Landscape is Shifting

 

Every province has its own licensing requirements, fee caps, advertising rules, loan limits, and mandatory disclosures. Falling behind even slightly can cost you your entire business.

 

We’ve seen it happen.

 

Which is why we’ve developed a turnkey compliance solution to keep your business bulletproof.

​

​

✅ What Our Compliance Support Covers

 

🏛️ Provincial Licensing

 

We assist with new payday loan license applications, renewal filings, and ensure all your documentation meets the requirements of provincial regulators like the Ministry of Public and Business Service Delivery (Ontario), BC Consumer Protection, and others.

​

• Ministry license prep & submission

• Annual reporting and renewal filings

• Registry updates & corporate name compliance

​

📋 Regulatory Audit Preparation

 

Don’t wait for the knock on the door. We prepare your team, systems, and documentation for random or scheduled audits—ensuring you pass with confidence.

​

• Pre-audit reviews

• Document collection and format assistance

• Ongoing audit-readiness protocols

​

💼 Policy & Disclosure Implementation

 

From loan agreements to advertising disclaimers, we ensure your customer-facing documents are fully compliant and up-to-date with current payday loan laws.

​​

• Loan contract reviews

• Consumer disclosure alignment

• Fee and interest calculations verification

​

🔐 Data Security & AML Best Practices

 

We help you align your operation with Canada’s anti-money laundering (AML) and data privacy laws—critical for digital lenders and lenders using banking APIs.

​

• KYC/AML flow implementation

• Data retention & protection policies

• E-signature & identity verification compliance

​

​

🚨 Don’t Rely on Guesswork

 

Many lenders try to interpret provincial lending laws on their own—or worse, rely on outdated templates or assumptions from other provinces.

 

That’s a recipe for disaster.

 

We stay ahead of:

​

• Ministry rule changes (Ontario)

• Consumer Protection Act updates (BC, Alberta)

• Loan cap and term limit adjustments

• Advertising and disclosure laws

• Credit reporting & data handling obligations

​

​

📈 Compliance as a Competitive Advantage

 

Regulatory confidence isn’t just about risk avoidance. It gives you:

​​

• The ability to expand into new provinces

• Faster response time to market shifts

• Lower operating stress for you and your staff

• A trustworthy reputation with borrowers

• A stronger valuation if you plan to sell your lending business
