Applicants can borrow between $1,000 and $30,000 through MyMoney under variable or fixed-rate loans, with repayments spread out over one- to seven-year terms.
Variable interest rates rise or fall depending on changes to the prime rate, while a fixed rate stays the same for the term of the loan. Ultimately, a person's loan rate will depend on factors such as an applicant's credit history.
Variable interest rates currently range between 9.78 per cent and 19.78 per cent, compared to 9.98 per cent and 19.98 per cent for fixed interest rates.
Repayments can be made weekly, biweekly, monthly or semi-monthly.
Fees are not charged unless a repayment is missed and loans can be paid down whenever without additional charges.
CTVNews.ca has reached out to Canada Post for a comment on what happens if a person is still unable, or chooses not, to make their loan repayments.

An applicant also must not have declared bankruptcy or had accounts in collections for past due payments in the last 24 months, and needs to have a valid chequing or savings account in their name with a Canadian financial institution where loan funds can be deposited. Loans cannot be acquired for a third party.
The loans are also described as "unsecured," meaning they do not need to be backed by collateral such as property and instead are based on an applicant's credit.

Other details required in order to apply are gross annual income before taxes and monthly housing costs, including mortgage or rent payments, property taxes and heating expenses.
A social insurance number is not required to apply but will help in obtaining credit information, Canada Post says.
Once a loan is active, TD will transfer the funds by direct deposit between one and five business days.
Applicants do not need to be an existing TD customer to apply.
