If you shared your PIN with ANYONE...

Including you spouse, kids... or even your cat.

You may not be reimbursed if someone uses your card without permission.

And, while we're at it, the same goes for PINs that are easy to guess like your telephone number or date of birth!

So, make it hard to guess, and don't share it!

It's 2026. Literacy now means more than reading and writing.

Canadians need many forms of literacy including media literacy, digital literacy, and financial literacy in order to make informed decisions in a rapidly evolving world.

That's why empowering Canadians to become more financially literate and resilient remains a key part of FCAC's work.

Will your account stay in good standing?

Yes.

Will you rack up interest?

Also yes.

When possible, pay off your balance in full by the due date each month to avoid interest charges!

While some of this advice is just bad...

Others are flat out scams.

Do your own research and don't manage your money based on comments from random strangers on the internet. 🥸
