Credit Limit Granted Your initial Credit Limit is assigned at the end of your application for a Neo Financial MasterCard® and could range from $250 to $10,000. This limit will be presented prior to your acceptance of the card. Your current Credit Limit will be shown on each Statement and can be found in-app and online.
Annual Interest Rate / Annual Percentage Rate (APR): The annual interest rates that will apply to your Card Account are set out in this information box and expanded in the "Annual Interest Rates" section below. These annual interest rates are in effect the day the Card Account is opened.

Purchases Cash Advances
Neo Financial Standard Mastercard Standard Rate: 19.99% - 24.99%

Default Rate: 24.99%		 Standard Rate: 22.99% - 26.99%

Default Rate: 26.99%

You will lose the benefit of the Standard Rates that apply to your Card, if, for two consecutive Billing Periods, you fail to pay at least the Minimum Balance Due for each Statement when due, in which case your annual interest rates will increase to the Default Rates that apply to the Card you receive, beginning on the first day of the Billing Period following such second consecutive Billing Period.

At any time the Default Rate applies, the Default Rate will continue to apply until, for three consecutive Billing Periods, you pay at least the Minimum Balance Due for each particular Statement on or before the respective payment due date for each Statement, in which case, the applicable annual interest rates will be decreased, effective from (and including) the first day of the next Billing Period following such payment, to the Standard Rate.
Interest-free Grace Period You will benefit from an interest-free period of at least 21 days for new purchases and fees if you pay your statement balance in full by the payment due date shown on your statement.

If you do not pay your statement balance in full by the payment due date, you must then pay interest on all purchases and fees shown on that month's statement from the posted date until we receive your payment for the total amount you owe.

There is no interest-free period for Cash Advances. Cash withdrawals and cash like transactions such as balance transfers, money orders, wire transfers, traveler’s cheques, overdraft transfers, and gambling transactions are all Cash Advances. Interest is charged from the day the Cash Advance is posted until we receive your payment for the total Cash Advance amount you owe.
Determination of Interest If interest is charged, it is calculated daily by multiplying the total daily interest bearing balance for each category of charges by the annual interest rate in effect for that category and dividing that by the number of days in a year. The interest charges for each day of a Billing Period are then added together and charged to your Card Account on the last day of each billing cycle. Interest accrues on purchases, fees and other charges, from (and including) the date the transaction is posted to the Card Account until we receive payment in full of the amount of the transaction, however, interest on new purchases and fees will be waived when subject to an interest-free grace period as set out above. Interest that is charged to the Card Account will be compounded monthly.
Minimum Payment The Minimum Balance Due for each Statement will be equal to:

a) $10.00 or 2.0% of your total statement balance, whichever is greater; plus

b) All outstanding interest and fees on your Card Account; plus

c) Any amount that exceeds the Credit Limit; or any amount that is overdue, whichever is greater.

However, if the new balance indicated on the Statement is less than $10.00, it must be paid in full by the payment due date shown on that Statement.
Foreign Currency Conversion If you use your Card for a transaction in a currency other than Canadian Dollars, foreign currency will be converted into Canadian Dollars before it is posted on your Card Account. We will convert the amount of your transaction to Canadian Dollars at the conversion rate established by MasterCard International Inc. ("MCI").

For purchases, cash advances and credits to the Card Account, the rate is set at the time the transaction or credit is presented for payment to MCI.

When the transaction is posted to your Card Account, in addition to the conversion rate, you will be charged a foreign currency conversion fee of 2.5% of the amount of the foreign currency transaction after the foreign currency has been converted to Canadian Dollars. This fee applies to both debits and credits.

Cash Advance in Canada: $2.50 for each physical Cash Withdrawal.

Cash Advance outside Canada: $5.00 for each physical Cash Withdrawal.

Overdraft Transfer Fee: $0.00 for each Overdraft Transfer from the Card Account to the Neo Savings Account

  • At any time the Default Rate applies, the Default Rate will continue to apply until, for three consecutive Billing Periods, you pay at least the Minimum Balance Due for each particular Statement on or before the respective payment due date for each Statement, in which case, the applicable annual interest rates will be decreased, effective from (and including) the first day of the next Billing Period following such payment, to the Standard Rate. 

Fees:

The annual fee (if applicable) on your Card, will appear and be due on your second Statement, whether or not you have activated your Card, and thereafter will appear annually on your Statement anniversary date. Other fees are charged on the date that the transaction or event occurs (unless otherwise indicated). See the Rate and Fee Schedule above for the annual rate and all other fees applicable to each type of Card.
