How do I use Neo Advance?

KEEP YOUR FINANCIAL LIFE MOVING FORWARDS

Once you set up your Neo Advance, it automatically covers you when your Chequing balance falls below $0, up to your available limit. It’s automatically repaid when money enters your account.

HOW DO I PAY AN ADVANCE BACK?

Your Advance is automatically repaid when money comes into your Neo Chequing account, much like a traditional overdraft.

As long as you have enough funds coming into your Neo Chequing account to cover the balance by the due date, there’s nothing for you to manually do.

HOW CAN NEO ADVANCE HELP BUILD MY CREDIT LIMIT?

Neo Advance is a credit product that is reported monthly to the two major Canadian credit bureaus.
Using and repaying your Advance on time builds a record of responsible credit use, and helps build your credit history over time.
