Learn about KOHO
KOHO is a spending and savings account here to simplify your personal finances.
It's a bit like a spending account, with the perks of a credit card. Think of KOHO as a collection of features designed to help you reach your goals faster and spend your money on things you like, rather than things that you don't, like credit card interest or hidden fees.
The key difference is that unlike a traditional credit card, it's already your money—there's no interest to pay, and the funds on your card are, well... all yours. Plus, unlike pretty much everyone with just a bank-issued credit card.
The long and short of it is that KOHO makes it easier (dare we say even fun) to manage your spending and savings habits.
Who is KOHO for?
If you're a Canadian living paycheque to paycheque, KOHO gets it. We know you need an account that works harder for you.
One that puts high interest savings, cashback rewards, and even cash advances all in one simple app.
No jumping between different apps or accounts. Just everything you need, right at your fingertips.
Choose your plan
KOHO offers three plans to match your lifestyle:
Essential Plan
The plan that gets you more from your everyday spending, fee free¹.
At KOHO, we believe in rewarding you for making smart financial choices. That's why we've introduced a straightforward way for you to enjoy all the benefits of Essential for $0/month—delivering over $100/year in value.
Extra Plan
The plus account that makes your money go even further with cash back on every purchase and high interest savings.
Everything Plan
Canada’s most powerful all inclusive account.
The Everything plan includes the best of KOHO’s features, tools, and rewards.
Your cards, your way
Get a virtual card with its own unique number—separate from your physical card.
This means safer online shopping without worrying about your main card details being exposed.
You also get a physical card for everyday purchases. And if you go with the Everything Plan, you'll get our metal card for free.
Grow your money while you sleep
Depending on your plan, you can earn between 2% to 3.5% interest on your savings. That's way better than most traditional banks!
Your money works for you, even when you're binge-watching your favorite show.
Important to know: When you opt in to Earn Interest, your funds are placed in trust with one or more CDIC member institutions. Funds held in trust by CDIC member institutions are eligible for CDIC protection of up to $100,000 per beneficiary, per member institution, if the member institution were to fail.
Cashback that actually adds up
Who doesn't love getting money back just for spending? With KOHO, you can earn:
Up to 2% cashback on everyday purchases
Plus 6.5% cashback at partner merchants
It's like getting a little thank you every time you swipe your card.
When life happens
We all have those moments when payday feels too far away.
KOHO's got your back:
Line of Credit: Get approved for anywhere between $1,000 to $15,000
Pay Later: Pay off purchases up to $1,000 in monthly instalments
Think of these as your financial safety net—there when you need it, without the stress.
Build your credit (yes, really!)
KOHO helps you build your credit history:
Free Credit Score & Report: Try our free trial and get access to your credit score and full credit report
Credit Building: A secure, affordable way to build your credit history
Rent Reporting Service: We report your rent payments to Equifax, which means your on-time rent actually helps build your credit.
Send money without the hassle
International Money Transfers: Need to send money abroad? Our new feature makes it simple.
Unlimited e-Transfers: Send money to friends, family, or split the bill—as many times as you want. No limits, no fees.
No Foreign Exchange Fees (on Extra and Everything Plans): Traveling or shopping internationally? You won't get dinged with those annoying FX fees that usually eat into your money.
Available on your phone
Download KOHO from the Google Play Store or Apple App Store.
Manage everything right from your phone—check your balance, track spending, move money around, all while standing in line for coffee.
Is KOHO a bank?
Nope! We're a financial technology company (or fintech, if you want to sound fancy).
We're focused on using smart technology to make your financial life easier and more transparent.
We're here to work alongside your financial goals, not weigh you down with complicated banking jargon and hidden fees.
