Neo Financial Introduces Equifax Canada Reporting for Enhanced Credit Building with Neo Secured Credit Card
Neo Financial has announced an expansion in credit reporting services for its Neo Secured Credit card, now reporting to both Equifax Canada and TransUnion®. This enhancement aims to provide Canadians, especially newcomers and those aiming to bolster their credit profiles, with comprehensive credit history visibility for broader lender acceptance. The Neo Secured Credit card offers an accessible pathway to establish credit history while earning cashback on everyday purchases¹.
“We’re thrilled to offer Canadians an easy way to earn cashback and build credit history,” said Andrew Chau, CEO and Co-Founder at Neo Financial. “The addition of Equifax Canada reporting is crucial for newcomers and existing residents alike, who often face challenges in establishing credit upon arriving in Canada. At Neo, we’re dedicated to improving the financial well-being of Canadians and alleviating financial stress wherever possible.”
According to Statistics Canada’s 2023 report analyzing Survey of Financial Security (SFS) data, immigrant families, regardless of tenure in Canada, face higher rates of credit invisibility compared to Canadian-born families. Neo Financial addresses these challenges by empowering Canadian residents with tools to manage their financial futures effectively.
In addition to supporting credit establishment, Neo Financial provides a seamless transition to the standard Neo Credit card and access to Neo High-Interest Savings, Neo Money™ card, Neo Mortgage options, and more, catering to diverse financial needs.
The Equifax Canada reporting feature is applicable across all Neo Credit card products, including the Neo Secured Credit card, Neo Standard Credit card, Hudson’s Bay Mastercard—powered by Neo, Tims® Credit Card—powered by Neo, and Cathay World Elite® Mastercard® – powered by Neo.
