Canada’s best Mastercard credit cards for 2022


Brim’s headline perk— available with all three cards—is that there are no foreign transaction fees whether you’re shopping online or in-person—saving you 2.5% right off the top on all purchases made in a non-Canadian currency. 

Putting the spotlight on the entry-level no-fee card, the Brim Mastercard has a rewards system that gets you 1 point per $1 spent everywhere. Plus, you can earn bonus points at certain retailers, like up to 4x the points at Microsoft and Nike. Points can be redeemed for statement credits against any purchase made with your card in increments of 100 points for $1, meaning that this Mastercard effectively works like a cash back card. You manage your rewards through the Brim mobile app, and the credit card can also be added to any mobile wallet.
