1. Purpose of This Editorial Policy
CashPocket.ca is committed to publishing clear, accurate, and transparent information related to short-term lending and financial products in Canada.
Because financial decisions can significantly impact individuals, we recognize our responsibility to provide content that supports informed decision-making.
This Editorial Policy outlines how we create, review, and maintain the content on our website.
2. Our Role
CashPocket.ca is an independent loan comparison and referral platform. We are not a lender and do not provide financial advice.
Content published on this website is intended for informational and educational purposes only. It should not be interpreted as legal, financial, or credit advice.
Users should independently evaluate loan terms and consult qualified professionals where appropriate.
3. Content Creation Standards
All editorial content on CashPocket.ca is created with the following principles:
Accuracy
We aim to ensure that information about loan types, eligibility criteria, and regulatory guidelines reflects publicly available Canadian lending standards at the time of publication.
Clarity
Financial terminology is presented in a clear and understandable manner to reduce confusion for users.
Transparency
Where compensation relationships exist, we disclose them clearly in our Affiliate Disclosure.
Responsible Borrowing
We include reminders about the potential costs and risks associated with short-term loans.
4. Sources of Information
Content may be developed using:
- Publicly available Canadian regulatory resources
- Provincial consumer protection guidelines
- Industry-standard lending practices
- Information provided by referral partners
- Internal research and analysis
We make reasonable efforts to ensure information is current; however, lending regulations and product terms may change.
5. Review & Updates
Financial regulations and lending practices evolve. For this reason:
- Key pages are reviewed periodically
- Regulatory references are updated when necessary
- Outdated or inaccurate information is corrected
Each major content page may include a “Last Updated” date to promote transparency.
6. Editorial Independence & Affiliate Relationships
CashPocket.ca may receive compensation from lending partners when users are referred.
However:
- Compensation does not dictate editorial conclusions
- We do not guarantee approval outcomes
- We do not misrepresent loan terms
- We do not knowingly promote fraudulent lenders
Affiliate relationships are disclosed separately in our Affiliate Disclosure page.
7. Product Descriptions & Comparisons
When describing loan products:
- Information is presented in general terms
- Loan availability may vary by province
- Terms and fees are determined by individual lenders
Users must confirm final loan details directly with the lender before accepting any agreement.
8. No Guarantee of Completeness
We do not guarantee that:
- All lenders operating in Canada are listed
- All loan products are represented
- Information is free from typographical errors
Users should independently verify loan details and licensing status.
9. Responsible Lending Emphasis
Given the nature of short-term credit, we include responsible borrowing messaging throughout the website.
We encourage users to:
- Borrow only what is necessary
- Understand total repayment costs
- Explore alternative financial solutions
Short-term loans are typically intended for temporary financial needs and may not be suitable for long-term debt management.
