Collabria Cardholder Support
Meeting the Needs of Cardholders in Challenging Times
These supports include:
*New – Reduced interest rate
Effective April 13, 2020, the interest rate has been reduced to 10.9% for up to six months when cardholders contact Collabria and request financial relief due to COVID-19.
Minimum payment deferral
Deferral of ‘minimum due’ payments and the promotional interest rate bundle can be approved for up to three months at a time for cardholders affected by COVID-19. Cardholders can call in after three months to extend to six months, if needed.
Increased ‘contactless’ transaction limits
Limits have been increased to $250 for all cardholders across all merchant (grocery, convenience stores and pharmacies) categories, wherever these merchants have enabled acceptance of higher contactless transactions.
Balance transfers
Members can consider consolidating higher interest rate loans and credit card balances.
- Low Rate Product Acquisition Program – 3.9% balance transfer for six months on new accounts. Applies to new Centra, Classic and Student accounts until April 30, 2020.
- 5.9% balance transfers for a period of six months for all existing and new cardholders with business and personal accounts, beginning May 1 until July 31, 2020.
Fraudulent activities
Unfortunately, reports of scams and fraudulent activities continue. Members should be vigilant. Know that Collabria Financial will never send emails asking for confidential information such as passwords, PINs or credit card numbers.
