Is this Credit Card right for you?

Right for you if you:

  • Are a student enrolled in a Canadian post secondary school and this is one of your first Credit Cards
  • Want to obtain a convenient and secure payment method for everyday purchases, that can also help you to build your credit history if you make at least your minimum payments on time each month 
  • Want an interest free grace period on purchases
  • Would like the option of paying an annual fee to receive a lower interest rate 
  • Usually carry a balance on your card (consistently each month)

May not be right for you if you:

  • Will be carrying an outstanding balance for a long period of time or using it for debt consolidation
  • Have a steady income of more than $12000/year (income requirement subject to change) as you may qualify for other types of available Credit Cards 
  • Prefer cash back or reward points 
  • Don’t mind paying an annual fee to benefit from even more rewards & other benefits available with one of our other Cards
