Hi,

Are you aware of a low interest unsecured line of credit? If so, can you direct me to a few names (short list would suffice).

Thank in advance!
Be safe.
  

Any of the BigBanks will give you a ULOC assuming you qualify, and so does at least Tangerine on the digital side (there may be others as well). Typical interest rate is Prime+2.00% and that's unlikely to be negotiable in the current environment, but you never know until you ask.

Tangerine had a deal in 2019 pre-COVID that had a 0% teaser rate for a few months to encourage sign-ups, but that ship sailed long ago.

As a comparison I used to have a P+1.00% ULOC at CIBC many years ago when rates were considerably higher, but when I stopped using it and it went dormant, the bank unilaterally changed my rate to P+2.00% as part of "a bank-wide policy move" (translation: we want a fatter margin on these things). I had a zero balance so it had no impact but it still kind of PMO a bit. I still don't draw on it even though I know it's there

Depending on your profession (if you are working), you can get an unsecured line of credit from Banque Nationale for P + 0.50%
