Other common questions

What’s the standard purchase interest rate?

The specific standard rate should be confirmed directly on Desjardins’ official rate disclosure, since available sources only clearly confirmed the 19.9% penalty rate for missed payments.

Category caps on Canadian cash back cards are typically annual; confirm the exact reset date and mechanics with Desjardins.

Can I manage the card fully through AccèsD?

Yes, AccèsD provides online account management, including viewing transactions and cash back earned.

For dining and bill-heavy spending, the category rewards are genuinely useful, with the annual cap as the main limit to keep in mind.
