He began his career on the credit side of an Ontario credit union, where he assessed consumer loans and lines of credit before moving into financial journalism. Daniel writes about installment loans, payday loan rules across the provinces, and how CDIC deposit protection actually works in practice. He is careful to explain what lenders really check, from credit reports at Equifax and TransUnion to income and debt ratios, because guaranteed approval is a myth. His goal on MaybeLoan is simple: help readers compare legitimate, licensed lenders and avoid predatory offers, especially in provinces with stricter payday lending caps.
