Our Review

Secured credit card: this card requires a security deposit and is designed for people building or rebuilding their credit history, including newcomers to Canada. Your credit limit matches the deposit you provide.

The Neo Secured World Mastercard – Shop & Dine is for those who spend more on dining and retail. You earn 2% cash back on restaurant outings, takeout, and retail purchases, plus 0.5% on all your other purchases.

It carries a $9.99 monthly fee (Build membership required for the secured credit limit) and turns your everyday meals and purchases into cash back, with no points to manage. You also earn up to 15% boosted cash back at thousands of Neo partners across Canada, and the cash back accumulates in your Neo wallet, ready to be used at any time.

Please note: purchases on Amazon and at warehouse stores are not eligible for the retail rate.
