New partnership with Nova Credit makes transition to Canada easier

Newcomers can finance a new smartphone and build credit in Canada

TORONTO, Aug. 28, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Rogers Communications announced a new partnership with Nova Credit, a cross-border credit bureau, to help newcomers to Canada build credit and finance a new smartphone, making their transition easier.

The collaboration enables Rogers to offer newcomers maximum credit by considering their international credit history when applying for a Rogers Red credit card, helping them establish a strong financial foundation in Canada. They can also take advantage of 0% interest financing on new Rogers devices through the Rogers Red credit card, to stay connected from day one while spreading payments over a longer time period. Newcomers can visit any Rogers retail store to apply.

“At Rogers, we are committed to making Canada home for newcomers from the moment they arrive,” said Phil Hartling, President of Wireless, Rogers. “Our partnership with Nova Credit not only removes a roadblock to help newcomers establish a financial foundation in Canada, but it also helps them stay connected with loved ones as they start their new life here.”

At launch, Rogers will support newcomers by recognizing their credit history from nine countries, including Australia, India, Kenya, Nigeria, the Philippines, Spain, Switzerland, Ukraine and the United Kingdom. Rogers has plans to expand the program to additional countries in the future.

Newcomers approved for a Rogers Red credit card can access flexible device financing on new phones for up to 48 months at 0% interest. Customers can be approved instantly for a Rogers Red credit card in a Rogers retail store, allowing them to leave with both a new device and a credit card on their phone’s mobile wallet.

Rogers customers with a Rogers Red credit card can enjoy 3% cash back value when they redeem with Rogers, and the card has no annual fee. Customers can also stay connected with five Roam Like Home days at no extra cost every year with an eligible Rogers mobile plan. In 2024, Rewards Canada named the Rogers Red World Elite Mastercard the country’s Top No Fee Cash Back Credit Card.
