Got questions?
We've got answers.
What is a prepaid card and how does it differ from a credit card?
The JA Money card is a prepaid card that has the rewards of a credit card and the functionality of a debit card, without incurring debt or spending beyond your account balance. Access cash and spend your money online and in-store without having to manually load funds onto your card.
What is cashback?
Cashback is exactly what it sounds like—money back in your pocket, through your Rewards Wallet, when you make a purchase with your JA Money card at any of the thousands of partners, or the brands and categories where cashback is offered.
How do I use my cashback?
You can use your cashback for making purchases in the Neo Store, or cash out to your Neo Everyday account. Cashback is paid instantly and is accessible through your Rewards Wallet in the Neo app.
Why is high-interest savings important?
Make the most of money sitting in your account! In addition to the JA Money card, you can open one or more Neo Cash accounts, which help you easily earn from your savings. When you want to save for specific goals, you can personalize your savings accounts with a goal name and amount to track your progress.
How do you calculate interest on my savings?
Earn 2.5%³ on your entire balance, no matter if you're new to Neo or already have an account. Earnings for the Neo Cash account are derived from the interest Neo earns on the funds. Neo shares interest at the advertised rate of return for the Neo Cash account, and earnings are calculated daily on the total closing balance and paid monthly. Rates are per annum and subject to change without notice.
How much will I earn in my Neo Cash account?
The amount you earn is based on your account balance. Your Neo Cash earns 2.5%³ per year on your entire balance. Maximize your earning potential by starting to save early and making regular transfers into your account.
Is my money insured?
Yes, funds in Neo Cash accounts are eligible for CDIC protection.
The Neo Cash account is offered by Neo Financial Technologies Inc. (“Neo”), a FINTRAC-registered money services business. The funds added to Neo Cash accounts are ultimately held securely in trust in the name of the primary account holder with one or more member institutions of the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation (“CDIC”). Neo is not a CDIC member institution; however, eligible funds held in trust are insured by CDIC for up to $100,000 per beneficiary, per member institution in the event of a member institution’s failure, provided certain disclosure rules are met. Funds are settled with any CDIC member institution within three business days of the funds being reflected in your account.

Junior Achievement of Canada (JA Canada) is a non-profit educational organization committed to youth success. Learn more atjacanada.orgYour JA Money card usage generates donations for JA Canada at no cost to you.
When should I start saving, and how much money do I need?
The earlier you start saving, the longer your money has to grow. But you certainly don’t have to have a lot of money to get started with a savings account—you can always start small and add more money to your savings with your allowance or income from your job.
