Description Jump to:
The alternative lending market in Canada is expected to grow by 14% annually, reaching US$21.01 billion by 2026.

The alternative lending market in the country has experienced robust growth during 2020-2025, achieving a CAGR of 15.7%. This upward trajectory is expected to continue, with the market forecast to grow at a CAGR of 13.3% from 2026 to 2029. By the end of 2029, the alternative lending market is projected to expand from its 2025 value of US$18.42 billion to approximately US$30.59 billion.

Key Trends & Drivers


1. Shift SME credit into commerce platforms and cash-flow rails.

  • Alternative SME lending in Canada is moving from standalone “apply-for-a-loan” journeys to embedded, receivables-linked offers inside merchant operating systems. Shopify Capital is a clear example: Shopify’s filings describe its exposure to losses on loans and merchant cash advances offered through Shopify Capital, reflecting a model where underwriting and repayment are tied to merchant platform activity rather than traditional branch-led origination.
  • Canadian merchants’ working-capital needs are increasingly shaped by ecommerce seasonality, digital advertising spend, and faster inventory cycles, factors that platforms can observe directly. Fintech models like Clearco’s invoice funding and early-pay mechanics reinforce that “cash-flow management” is becoming part of the funding proposition for online-first brands.
  • Expect tighter coupling between lending eligibility and in-platform sales/settlement behavior, with more risk controls and partner oversight as these programs scale. Larger platforms will keep building financing as a retention tool; smaller lenders will increasingly distribute through partnerships rather than pure direct acquisition.

2. Normalize BNPL as a regulated credit product, not a checkout feature.

  • BNPL in Canada is shifting toward credit bureau visibility, more formalized disclosures, and clearer consumer protection expectations. Affirm’s change to credit reporting (including pay-over-time products issued from April 1, 2025) signals BNPL’s convergence with mainstream credit infrastructure.
  • Regulators are actively building the fact base on BNPL use and risk. FCAC’s BNPL pilot study is an example of supervisory focus turning into expectations on transparency and outcomes. Retailers also continue to add BNPL options (e.g., Sezzle partnerships with Canadian merchants), keeping competitive pressure high at checkout.
  • BNPL providers will look more like credit issuers: stronger affordability approaches, more standardized reporting, and more consistent complaint handling. Competitive advantage will shift from “distribution wins” to operational controls, risk governance, and lender/retailer accountability.

3. Expand permissioned-data lending as consumer-driven banking takes shape.

  • Canada’s move toward consumer-driven banking (open banking) is setting up a more standardized way for borrowers to share financial data with approved providers, widening the toolkit for alternative underwriting beyond bureau files.
  • Policy is aligning data portability with security and oversight. The Budget 2025 framework and the Consumer-Driven Banking Act directionally reduce friction for permissioned data sharing important for lenders targeting thin-file consumers or SMEs with complex cash-flow patterns.
  • Alternative lenders and fintechs should gain better access (with consent) to transaction-level data for underwriting and servicing, which can improve pricing discipline and reduce fraud while also raising compliance and third-party risk-management requirements. Winners will be those who can operationalize consent, security, and auditability at scale.

4. Reinforce alternative-lender funding and risk models under tighter scrutiny.

  • Canadian non-bank lenders are diversifying funding sources and formalizing balance sheet structures to support continued origination. Examples include Fairstone Bank of Canada’s deposit note issuance and ongoing scaling by large non-prime lenders such as Goeasy.
  • Higher cost of capital and heightened attention to consumer outcomes push lenders to secure more stable funding, strengthen collections governance, and demonstrate resilient risk controls. At the same time, payment-system regulation is broadening participation and oversight in ways that can reshape distribution and servicing economics (e.g., Interac expanding e-Transfer access to registered PSPs under the RPAA framework).
  • Expect a widening gap between scaled lenders with diversified funding/compliance capacity and smaller operators reliant on narrower funding lines. Partnerships (with banks, PSPs, and platforms) will matter more but will come with stricter governance, reporting, and conduct expectations.

Competitive Landscape

Regulation will raise the bar on operating models. In the last 12 months, Canada advanced consumer-driven banking (open banking) via the Finance Canada framework and the Consumer-Driven Banking Act, and expanded payments supervision under the RPAA (Bank of Canada registration; Interac e-Transfer access for RPAA-registered PSPs). BNPL is also under closer consumer protection scrutiny through FCAC publications.

Next 2-4 years: expect more embedded-lending competition within payment/commerce platforms, increased reliance on partnerships for standalone lenders, and selective consolidation as funding, compliance, and distribution advantages concentrate among fewer, larger players.

Current State of the Market

  • Compete on distribution, not just underwriting. In Canada, competitive intensity is highest where credit is embedded into payments and commerce workflows (merchant dashboards, POS, marketplaces) rather than acquired via standalone lender funnels. Square Loans and Lightspeed Capital illustrate how PSP/POS ecosystems can originate financing tied to merchant payment flows.
  • Run two parallel battlegrounds. SME/merchant finance (cash-flow-linked advances and loans) anchored in platforms, consumer point-of-sale finance/BNPL competing for retail checkout placement and repeat use.

Key Players and New Entrants

  • Scaled non-prime and specialty lenders: goeasy and Fairstone remain core competitors in consumer lending, with funding access and servicing scale shaping their defensibility.
  • Platform- and PSP-led lenders: Shopify Capital, Square Loans, and Lightspeed Capital offer embedded distribution advantages through merchant operating systems and payment rails.
  • BNPL specialists expanding checkout coverage: Affirm and Sezzle compete through merchant partnerships across retail verticals.
  • Ecommerce cash-advance models: Clearco remains a visible player in funding DTC and online-first businesses, reinforcing competition around receivables- and performance-linked financing.

Recent Launches, Mergers, and Acquisitions

  • M&A reshaping scale economics: Fairstone Bank’s proposed acquisition of Laurentian Bank (announced December 2, 2025; expected close late 2026) is a material consolidation move that could expand Fairstone’s national footprint and deepen its product offerings.
  • Partnership-led expansion remains the default: Affirm extended major merchant partnerships into Canada (e.g., Williams-Sonoma brands; REVOLVE; KAYAK), while Sezzle added Canadian retail partners, reflecting continued competition for checkout and category coverage.

About the Alternative Lending Market

Alternative Lending is a form of banking that provides financing to individuals and businesses outside of traditional banking institutions. It is often used by those who are unable to access traditional bank loans due to a lack of credit history or other factors. Alternative Lending typically involves a more streamlined process than traditional banking, with less paperwork and faster approval times. It also offers more flexible repayment terms and lower interest rates than traditional banking. Alternative Lending is becoming increasingly popular as a way to access capital for businesses and individuals. It is often used to finance small business growth, purchase real estate, or consolidate debt. Some companies in the Alternative Lending market include Kabbage, LendingClub, and OnDeck. These companies provide a variety of loan products, including business loans, personal loans, and lines of credit. They also offer a range of services, such as credit monitoring and debt consolidation. Show Less Read more
