Recent news with Leadpile and the payday loan industry was that we entered the Canadian cash advance space, and now we are excited to announce we are now going to be working with Canadian auto finance leads. Just like the US auto industry, this appears to be the time when the Canadian auto finance industry starts taking a turn for the better. People need cars whether they are in Canada or the US, and we are looking to match them with dealers.
We are seeking new publishers to generate this lead type and also additional buyers that are working in Canadian auto leads. If this is something that you are looking at doing, please contact us!!!

The government of Ontario is expected to announce on Tuesday a set amount that payday lenders can charge per loan. Globeinvestor.com is reporting that a new rule setting a maximum of $21 in charges per $100 borrowed will take effect soon. This new rule will be in addition to the rule requiring the lenders to be licensed.
This new rule set to go into effect tomorrow will cause major changes in the Ontario payday industry possibly causing some lenders to go out of business.
The LeadPile team will be watching this closely and will keep you posted on any updates or changes!

Canada is no longer an out of the way market that U.S companies do not want to do business with. Many of the hot Canadian companies are all coming together to try to sell themselves. These agencies are going to be traveling around the United States to show marketers that cities like Montreal and Quebec are the ideal new hot spot for market testing. Why is this? According to adage.com, “its language barrier prevents much outside media from seeping in, and vice versa — makes it an ideal place for U.S.-based marketers to experiment with new ideas and approaches before rolling them out to wider audiences.”
Several larger companies such as MasterCard and Mazda are way ahead of the game and have been utilizing Canada as a test market for several years now, both with great success. By testing in a smaller market with a smaller budget, marketers are able to see what works and what does not with out throwing their whole budget out the door. This also allows companies to try a more “out of the box” method.
LeadPile is a head of the game when it comes to working in Canada. Currently we are generating Canadian payday leads in Ontario. We are finding great success generating leads in Ontario and have plans to expand to some of the other Canadian markets.

In recent news, there are new payday lending laws in British Coumbia Canada. With these new regulations there are caps on interest rates and rules prohibiting predatory lending.

B.C.’s Business Practices and Consumer Protection (Payday Loans) Amendment Act and the Payday Loans regulation prohibit lenders, including phone and Internet lenders, from:

· Practices that unreasonably increase the borrower’s debt load, including rollovers that require borrowers to pay significant extra fees for extending the time to pay a loan.

· Requesting an assignment of wages, or collecting from a borrower’s employer.

· Operating unless licensed by Consumer Protection B.C.

Leadpile Lead Exchange has recently started generating payday loan leads in Canada, and is very much concerned with any legislation that is going on there. Just like US payday loans, we know that payday loans can be a much needed loan for many consumers. We will continue to try and match these consumers that need these short term loans, with those that can provide it to the consumer.

Payday loans are something that we discuss a lot on this blog, and are happy to let our readers know that we are expanding our payday loan/cash advance market into Canada. There was a high enough demand to warrant Leadpile to venture into this fairly unsaturated market. We are proud to be able to help those in Canada get connected with those lenders that want to provide them with one of these short term loans. If you are already a Leadpile publisher, you can access this new offer in your seller account. If you are not currently a part of the Leadpile Marketplace, contact us immediately!!! We look forward to this great new market that we are now venturing into!
