The verdict

What we like

  • Flat 2% cash back on all purchases with no categories, caps, or spending tiers
  • No foreign transaction fees, eliminating the typical 2.5% FX charge on international spending
  • Strong premium ecosystem potential (Visa Infinite / Infinite Privilege tiering with travel insurance, lounge access, concierge, and protections)

Worth noting

  • Eligibility is gated by Wealthsimple ecosystem (must have chequing account and pass internal tiering)
  • Premium benefits are conditional on high income or high assets ($80K–$150K+ income or $400K assets), limiting accessibility
  • Monthly fee applies for non-qualifying users, making it less attractive without meeting Wealthsimple thresholds
