Collabria Letter to Cardholders
On behalf of Collabria, I want to let you know that you remain in our thoughts and we send heartfelt wishes for health and safety to you and all those impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Our Collabria team understands that things are becoming tougher as increased measures to contain the coronavirus create financial uncertainty for many Canadians. We are working to find ways to help you through these difficult times and will continue to do so in the coming weeks.
As every person’s situation is different, we are committed to working with our personal and business cardholders to understand your needs and to do what we can to help you through this period of financial hardship.
Three of the new financial supports we now have in place for our cardholders include:
-
Minimum Payment Deferrals for cardholders impacted by COVID-19. Payment deferrals can be requested on a month by month basis (for up to 6 months).
-
For Canadians stuck outside Canada and trying to get home, we can provide emergency credit limit increases to cover airfare, car rentals, food, shelter, medical supplies, medications and other expenses.
-
Increased Contactless Payments to $250 for Grocery & Convenience Stores and Pharmacies
If you are experiencing a financial hardship due to the impacts of COVID-19, please call our Contact Centre at 1-855-341-4643 and we will work with you to discuss how we may be able to help you.
