Student cards

Part of Students and Newcomers

Compare student cards by borrowing costs, eligibility and useful everyday features. A zero annual fee does not make carrying a balance free. Review identification and residency requirements directly with the issuer, and distinguish permanent student benefits from temporary welcome promotions.

Compare the 2 listed products below. Open a product for its terms and source links. Missing terms are not confirmed.

Costs to compare

Check annual fees, purchase interest, cash advances and foreign-currency charges. Interest can outweigh rewards when you carry a balance.

Risks and restrictions

Student status does not guarantee approval. Missing payments can harm credit, and cash advances may accrue interest immediately.

Common questions

Does no annual fee mean no costs?

No. Interest and transaction charges may still apply.

Student or newcomer status does not guarantee approval or access to every advertised benefit.

Before you visit a provider

Confirm current fees, rates and eligibility directly with the provider. Product terms can change over time. A listed product is not a recommendation or a promise of approval.

Availability must be confirmed for your province or territory. If product-specific location or eligibility information is missing, it is not confirmed.
