24 months zero late payments

24 months, zero late payments

Approved in under a minute.

I'd been declined by every major bank because of my score. Earna gave me an answer in 60 seconds and a real Visa with no deposit. I almost didn't believe it

Aisha K

Brampton, ON

I'm building this on my own.

I immigrated to Canada in 2021 with a degree and zero credit history — refused everywhere, no explanation. Earna approved me on a Sunday night out of curiosity. Last month, I got my first car loan with no co-signer.

I can sign things alone now.

After my divorce, I was invisible on paper; three landlords turned me down. Earna approved me in four minutes with no co-signer. Eighteen months later, I'm signing my own lease.

Renting my dream apartment.

At 32, I'd never owned a credit card — raised to fear debt, ended up with no history at all. Earna approved me in 60 seconds with a $700 limit. Fourteen months later, I'm signing for an apartment in the Plateau.

Sarah B.

Toronto, ON

A card I could actually use.

After a job loss, two credit repair companies charged me hundreds and did nothing. A coworker mentioned Earna — no fees, no fine print, just a card that worked. Twenty months later, my own bank approved me for a regular Visa.

Groceries pay me back

1% cashback on groceries adds up fast when you have two kids. Plus the 0.5% bonus for paying in full feels like a thank-you for being responsible.

They saw the fraud before I did.

Got a call about a suspicious $400 charge from another province. Card frozen, replaced, refunded — all before I'd even noticed.

Limit went up automatically.

Six months on time and I got a $100 bump without lifting a finger. Hit the next milestone and I'll be at $1,500.

SmartPay saved my streak.

Hectic week, almost missed a Payment. The app caught it. Streak intact.

+87 points in 6 months.

I came out of a rough patch with a 540 score. I used Earna for groceries, paid in full every month, and watched my Equifax score climb. It works if you stay consistent

Stéphanie Y.

After bankruptcy, a real chance.

Three years post-discharge and every "second chance" card on the market still wanted a $500 deposit I didn't have. I applied to Earna on a whim, expected another rejection, and got an unsecured Visa instead. It's the first card in years that actually feels like mine and not a glorified prepaid.

Jonathan R.

Calgary, AB

My first real credit history.

I'm 22 and Earna is my first card. They report to Equifax and TransUnion every month, so I'm not waiting until 30 to have a score that means something.
