What the benefits really mean

Genuinely strong no-fee proposition for the segment: 10 employee cards at no cost, which beats every bank and most fintechs on employee-card economics. Eligible entity types are sole proprietor, partnership, limited company, co-operative or non-profit. Requires Vancity business membership; Vancity operates in British Columbia only. Insurance is limited to extended warranty and purchase security. No travel insurance, no rental car CDW. Insurance dollar amounts are in the Certificate of Insurance and not published on the product page. No minimum revenue or income test is published for this card (unlike the Infinite Business version). Free employee cards: Up to 10 cards free of charge. British Columbia only. You must be a Vancity business member. The welcome offer explicitly requires BC residency. 0.5 points per $1 on general spend is a 0.5% return. Very low for a card with no fee but also no travel coverage. No travel insurance and no rental car CDW at all. Cash advance APR and FX fee are not published. The '$200 value' welcome offer is only fully earned by spending $1,000+ in each of the first three months.

Our verdict

Ten free employee cards on a card that costs nothing is the single best line in this comparison for a business with staff. At a bank, ten cards is $500 a year and at Servus it is $750. Here it is zero, and the transit and parking bonus is the right shape for a business operating in a city.

The base rate of half a point a dollar is genuinely weak, so this is a card for concentrated spending rather than everything. And it is British Columbia only. For a BC business with a team it is close to the obvious choice; for everyone else it is a reminder that credit unions can price things the banks will not.
