Terms of Service: Point of Sale

We believe that everything we do generates progress, confidence, and relief for our customers.

Your access to and use of the Progressa Financial Inc. (“Progressa”) services is conditional on your acknowledgement and compliance with our Privacy Policy and these Terms of Service.

By applying online for a loan with Progressa, you acknowledge that you may be contacted by one of our representatives regarding our products and services. As described in our Privacy Policy, Progressa collects, uses and discloses personal information.

By using Progressa services, you agree that the information you have given Progressa is complete and accurate. You further agree that you are not contemplating filing for bankruptcy within the next 6 months and have not consulted with an attorney or trustee concerning bankruptcy in the last 6 months.

Please note that Progressa does not currently lend to or solicit business from residents of the Province of Quebec, U.S. residents or residents of countries other than Canada.

Should you receive any such calls or requests, please contact our support centre at 1-855-723-5625 (LOAN) or by dialing #LOAN on your mobile device.

To protect both you and us, we use certain services provided by third-parties to help decide whether to accept transactions from personal computers, mobile phones, or other devices. The third-party service checks whether these devices have been identified with fraudulent or abusive transactions in the past, such as reported instances of identity theft, account takeovers, or malware attacks. For this purpose, a cookie file, flash storage token, or other code file may be placed on your device to identify it in the future when you visit our website or connect with our applications. On connection with our site or service, we will transmit that device identification code to the third-party’s server, along with data concerning certain technical attributes of your device such as the model, operating system, and browser version, as well as the IP address, all of which are used to confirm device identification. The third-party’s server responds with a code recommending that transactions be accepted, denied, or reviewed, according to settings we have selected. We also report to the third-party if we conclude that a device has been used in connection with a fraudulent or abusive transaction with us. If you set your browser or device to reject these cookies or tokens, you may not be able to conclude some transactions through our website or application. We share with the third-party referenced above only information about the device you are using, which may also have been used or appropriated by others, and do not identify you or reveal the details of your transaction to that third-party. If you have questions about this, please contact Customer Service.
