1 You will earn Vancity Rewards points on recurring payments set up at Visa service providers classified in the Visa network as recurring payments. Recurring payments are defined as automatic payments made on a monthly basis billed by the merchant to your enviro Visa card. Recurring payments are typically purchases for telecommunication, insurance, membership, subscriptions etc. Not all merchants offer recurring payments, so please ask them if they offer recurring payments on Visa cards. Some merchants may sell these products/services or are separate merchants who are located on the premises of these merchants, but are classified by Visa in another manner, in which case this added benefit would not apply.
2 Most applications received no later than 90 minutes prior to branch closing time and not requiring any additional information or verification will be funded the same day. Applications received at other times or requiring additional information or verification may not be approved and funded until the next business day.
