What you’d pay in interest

On a balance of $3,000 that you carry for a year.

  • This card $660
    21.99% $3,000 carried all year
  • A typical card $630
    20.99% $3,000 carried all year

A late payment can end a promotional rate early. Simple yearly interest on a balance that stays the same. Banks charge interest monthly, so the real cost comes out a little higher.

Before you apply

Can I get it?

  • Age 18 or older 19 or older in BC, NB, NL, NS and the territories
  • Where you live Canada
  • Credit score No minimum on record Most banks don’t publish one, and we don’t guess.

Mr. Loonie’s tip A balance transfer only helps if the balance shrinks. Set up an automatic payment so it goes down every month.
