The KOHO Mastercard is designed to provide better financial solutions to meet the everyday spending needs of Canadians. With all the same features KOHO customers are used to, including no fees, high interest rates, and cash back, a Credit Building feature, and smart ways for users to make the most of their money, there’s a ton of reasons why over 650,000 Canadians have already signed up to KOHO, and the new KOHO Mastercard is another one to add to the list. The KOHO card will now be more widely accepted across more than 24 million locations in over 210 countries. The KOHO Mastercard can be used by cardholders everywhere that Mastercard is accepted.
“Our goal for KOHO is simple: we want to make the lives of Canadians easier by giving them better ways to spend and manage their money,” said Daniel Eberhard, CEO and Founder of KOHO Financial Inc. “Our partnership with Mastercard will help us hugely along that journey, by providing a new and improved solution to spending that will still offer all the same benefits our customers have grown to know and love.”
The KOHO Mastercard includes lots of features that will make managing finances even more seamless for their users – with benefits like:
- No hidden fees, and no surprises: With no fees, no interest, and no sign up charges, having a KOHO Mastercard is a cost effective way for Canadians to own a prepaid credit card.
- Cash back rewards: Cardholders can earn 0.5% cash back every time they spend with their card, and up to an extra 6% when they spend at certain merchants, so spending always means saving too.
- Personalized card choices: The new card has a sleek vertical design to reflect how users usually handle their cards when using them to pay. They’re available in four different colours too, so users can choose the one that suits their style best.
- More from Mastercard: From culinary lessons to museum visits, KOHO users will be able to access Mastercard Priceless® Experiences through Priceless.com, as well as having Mastercard’s Zero Liability Protection against unauthorized or fraudulent charges.

- Instant Pay: Users can access their pay daily, rather than bi-weekly.
- Earn Interest: A KOHO spending & savings account can earn 1.2% interest.
