MONCTON, NB, Jan. 5, 2021 /CNW/ - Today, the best credit cards in Canada for 2021 have been announced by creditcardGenius. Covering 26 categories, over 126 features of 171 Canadian credit cards were analyzed by a math-based comparison engine.

Built by Atlantic Canadians, creditcardGenius is a free resource for people looking to optimize their rewards and maximize their savings. Steadily fine-tuned for over a decade, an objective scoring system fills the gap for an apples-to-apples credit card comparison based on rewards, fees, interest rates, insurance coverage, real-time user preferences, and more.

"When I started developing the card comparison algorithm a decade ago, there was nothing on the market that could take into account all the different factors you need to consider," said Stephen Weyman, Co-Founder of creditcardGenius. "We've been consistently improving it, and now we analyze over 126 data points per credit card to compute that one single score – our Genius Rating."

Since the pandemic, consumer preferences have shifted towards cash back rewards, low fees, and cards with easy approval. The demand for low interest cards remains steady. Canadians can fine-tune their search to find the card that best meets their needs, no matter the preference.
