Our Loans
We speak with your lawyer and review your case to assess your application. Our client service team can recommend a settlement loan solution that best meets your needs.
Lump-Sum Loan
Our Lump-Sum Loan solution allows you to access the full loan amount, for payment at one
time. There is no maximum amount, but we do encourage clients to only borrow
what they need.
Facility Loan
Our Facility Loan solution acts as a line of credit where interest only accrues on the amount advanced. We’ll approve the loan amount, allowing you to withdraw funds as needed. You may also choose to set up a monthly schedule for budgeting purposes.
Treatment Loan
Our Treatment Loan solution allows you to focus on your health and wellness while we handle the administrative and economic burdens resulting from your injuries. This solution acts as a line of credit where interest only accrues on the bills we pay on your behalf, which are sent to the Treatment Providers you are working with, to support your recovery.
Our Terms and Fees
- No risk to you. If your case does not settle, no repayment is required.
- Stress-free repayment. No interest payments until you receive a personal injury award or settlement.
- Easy approval process. Our client service team will walk you through the process.
- No credit check, no collateral and no monthly payments. Unlike banks and other traditional lenders, we don’t require income verification or credit checks.
- Competitive fees and transparent terms. We charge interest on a semi-annual basis with a one-time administration fee payable out of your settlement funds. Our interest rates and fees are competitive and completely transparent — with no hidden fees or charges.

Our settlement loans are non-recourse, which means if you legitimately lose your case, you owe us nothing. We assume 100% of the risk.
Structured settlements were introduced by the Government of Canada, to invest settlement monies on behalf of those made vulnerable by injuries, in something that is not likely to be lost prematurely.
These settlements are available, upon the consent of the casualty insurance company or by court order, and are purchased by the casualty insurance company on behalf of the claimant. They are only available at the time of settlement. As they are non-assignable, non-commutable and non-transferable by law, Rhino Finance cannot loan against these investments.
