Editor`s Review:


Despite the regular interest rate of 19.99%, this card is simply exceptional for students thanks to the numerous perks. As a student, you'll pay nothing for the Desjardins Student Cashback Visa, but you'll get up to 1% back for all your purchases. You also get insurance for your mobile devices, accord D financing and purchase protection.

 

You can receive up to $2,500 in cash anytime, anywhere in the world. This is an enormous benefit, especially for students who need to enjoy cash instantly. In terms of perks, this card offers you quick & easy integration with mobile wallets, travel assistance service, 3-day coverage for short trips, car rental discounts and even card personalization.

 

You can literally select a photo you love and have it displayed on the front of your card. This is a great benefit, especially for Gen Z students who love personalization and want to stay in control of their things.

 

Even if this card is not offering spectacular features, let's keep in mind that it costs nothing and offers good cash advances, quickly. The Desjardins Student Cashback Visa is definitely a card to hold in your wallet if you're a student in 2020.
