Wealthsimple Visa Infinite+ Card

6.7/10 · Strong$240/yr ($20/month; waived for Wealthsimple Premium/Generation clients ($100K+ in assets held with Wealthsimple) or with a qualifying $4,000+/month direct deposit)No FX fees

One of the only cards in Canada pairing a flat 2% cash-back rate with 0% FX fees. Whether it clears its own fee comes down to hitting the Premium asset threshold or the direct-deposit waiver — otherwise a no-fee alternative gets similar math for free.

Why it earns its score

  • Flat 2% cash back on every purchase with no categories, caps, or rotating merchants to track
  • 0% foreign transaction fee stacked on top of the 2% earn — a rare combination in Canada
  • Cash back sits in Wealthsimple Cash, which itself pays up to 2.25% interest while it accumulates

Where it loses points

  • No welcome bonus
  • $240 annual fee applies in full unless you clear the asset or direct-deposit waiver
  • Requires an active Wealthsimple chequing account — not a standalone credit card

Who it's for

Wealthsimple clients who want a genuinely flat 2% cash-back rate with zero foreign transaction fees and don't need lounge access.

Who should skip it

You don't already bank with Wealthsimple, or your spend is too low to justify the $240 fee if you don't qualify for a waiver.
