Verdict
The newer challenger with the highest upside: up to 1–2% cashback on rent and bills (with a card or free Interac), plus 0.5% cashback on mortgage payments routed via Interac e-Transfer (mortgages can't be charged to a credit card directly in Canada).
Neobanc is the best choice if you want cashback without fees on rent — and the only platform that lets you pay your mortgage in Canada via Interac e-Transfer (with 0.5% cashback), along with credit cards and loans. Mortgages can't be charged to a credit card directly in Canada, but Neobanc routes them by Interac and credits cashback back to you. Curious how it stacks up against the points leader?
