The Reality Check

RateBuddy is free for you to use, but it does cost money to run. To cover our expenses, we earn revenue through advertisements and sponsorship placements. This means our partners often compensate us when you click a link or apply for a product through our site. Importantly, this does not change our product ratings, rankings, reviews, or opinions. We strive to show you the most options possible so you can make informed decisions.

Our Total Loyalty Commitment

Our obligation to you supersedes any business relationship. This applies to everything we do—from the code that sorts rates to the advice in our guides. If a product has excessive fees, we expose them. If a service is outdated, we flag it. We are built to be your advocate, ensuring you always have the full, unvarnished picture.

We Can't Cover Everything

While we strive to scan the entire market, the financial world is massive. We might not list every single credit union or local bank in existence. However, we work tirelessly to present the most competitive offers available in Canada.

Our Editorial Independence

Our opinions are our own. If a card has a terrible fee, we’ll tell you. If a bank has a glitchy app, we’ll warn you. Our loyalty is to your wallet.

How RateBuddy Rebates Work

When you apply through an eligible RateBuddy button or link, the bank or card issuer may pay RateBuddy a commission. For selected offers, we share part of that commission with you as a real cash rebate, sent directly by Interac e-Transfer. No gimmicks, points, contests or games—just cash once your eligibility is confirmed. To qualify, you must start and complete your application using the eligible RateBuddy button or link and meet the offer terms. We aim to pay your rebate as soon as the bank or card issuer confirms that you qualify. Confirmation can sometimes take up to 90 days, so your rebate payment may take that long.
