Bonus terms are set by Brim Financial and may change at any time.

Brim Financial is a Toronto-based fintech and the only company in North America licensed to issue credit cards directly, without going through a traditional bank. It partners with regulated Canadian banks to actually process the cards, so it isn't as untested as it might sound. The main draw is a no annual fee Mastercard with cash back rewards and a virtual card you can use the moment you're approved.

Our review

4.0/ 5

A solid no-fee cash back card with a fast, modern app. It doesn't come with the travel insurance perks some other cards offer, so compare it against your needs before making it your main card.

How the Brim referral bonus works

Apply for a Brim Mastercard with our code 19538 and you get $10 in points once you make a qualifying purchase. Here's what to do:

  • Enter the code during your application. It needs to go in while you're applying, not after.
  • Get approved. Brim is a Canadian resident, age of majority credit card, so approval depends on your credit.
  • Make a qualifying purchase. Once you do, the $10 is credited to your Brim account as points.

If you forget to enter the code, contact Brim support through the app soon after your account is opened. Depending on your account status, they may be able to apply it manually within the first few days.

What you get

  • $10 in points after your first qualifying purchase
  • A Mastercard with no annual fee
  • An instant virtual card on approval, so you can add it to Apple Pay or Google Pay right away, without waiting for the physical card
  • Cash back rewards on everyday spending, with higher rates at Brim's merchant partners
  • A budgeting app and the ability to redeem points against your balance anytime

Is Brim worth it?

If you want a simple, no-fee cash back card with a fast, modern app, it's a solid pick. The instant virtual card is a nice touch if you're waiting on a physical card to arrive, and there's no annual fee to worry about on the base card.

If travel insurance or other premium perks matter to you, check what the base Brim Mastercard actually includes, since some of those benefits are reserved for Brim's higher-tier cards, which come with income requirements. The $10 bonus is a small extra on top of whatever card you decide fits your spending.
