The Zillidy Advantage

Zillidy is a private Canadian specialty finance company that provides personal asset loans using jewelry, luxury watches, gold, diamonds and precious metals as collateral. Zillidy offers complimentary appraisals and shipping as well as a flexible loan repayment schedule and impeccable client service.

Using Zillidy is like having a home equity line of credit against your personal assets without ever impacting your credit score or selling your valuables.

We serve all Canadians, whether in large cities including Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal, Winnipeg, Calgary, Ottawa, Edmonton, Halifax and Hamilton as well as smaller communities such as Kitchener, Brampton, Mississauga, London, Guelph and Regina.

We’re changing the way short term loans in Canada work by ensuring you, the client, are always in control of the transaction.
