Let's get started and allow us to answer questions you may have.
Paymi is a rewards program that focuses on putting cash back in consumers pockets when they make purchases, in-store and online, with Paymi partner brands. Getting paid has never been easier.
Anyone can join Paymi! To receive cash back, simply link your credit and debit cards through online banking so Paymi knows when to reward you. Your cash back will be delivered to your Paymi account when you spend with your linked cards at brands offered on the platform!
No! Paymi is free to join and happy to welcome more members to the community!
Yes! Sharing is caring. You will receive $5.00 for every friend you refer to Paymi as soon as they make their first eligible purchase.
Providing Paymi access to your debit and credit card transactions allows insight into consumer spending trends and allows brands to see performance of their promotions.
Leading brands choose to partner with Paymi because it offers them a unique opportunity to expand their reach and attract new customers. By joining our app, these brands gain exposure to a vast user base and the potential to boost customer spending. For instance, a $250 discount on an Apple Tablet might entice shoppers to consider adding AirPods to their purchase. Moreover, Paymi's emphasis on card linking not only streamlines the cashback process but also empowers us to gather valuable data about user preferences. This data allows us to tailor our offers to best serve our user community.

They include: CIBC (our proud partner); Bank of Montreal; American Express; RBC; Scotiabank; TD Bank; Meridian; Tangerine; Simplii Financial; HSBC Bank; Desjardins; National Bank; ATB Financial; Laurentian Bank; Canadian Tire Bank; Coast Capital Savings and Vancity. If you bank is not on this list, you may not be able to connect your credit or debit card to your Paymi account at this time. We are always striving to improve this list, so don't hesitate to contact our Help Desk with feedback of what banks you'd like to see supported: [email protected]
It's simple, connect your cards Paymi knows when to reward you!

If you see a prompt to re-verify your banking credentials, please do so to ensure that your cards are syncing properly for Paymi to award on eligible card-linked offers.
Here are some common reasons why unlinking happens:
1. When logging into your bank, it may ask you a security question. These will typically expire after a session, often when you exit the Paymi app. When sessions expire, this causes unlinking and prompts to relink.
2. Flinks or Yodlee needs to update their integration to support your bank.
3. There may be a prompt on the bank's website that you have to respond to, such as promotional advertisements.
4. Your cards have been replaced and are no longer up-to-date.
If you have successfully linked your card but it keeps unlinking every few minutes, it's usually due to an MFA issue. Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), also known as Two-Factor Authentication, is implemented for account security.
Since our providers may not always support new security updates, here are some troubleshooting measures:
1. Removing the MFA setting from your bank account temporarily to link the account to Paymi.
2. Relinking your credentials periodically, as MFA security questions rotate and can cause unlinking.
3. Waiting until our providers build support for MFA, allowing you to link this account in the future.
In this case please contact your financial institution, they will be happy to help you reset your account credentials.

We understand that connectivity issues can be frustrating. Here are some common reasons why it happens:
1. Ongoing Improvements to Your Bank's Online Banking Website: This requires Flinks or Yodlee to build support for these new features. Improvements are usually resolved within a matter of days, but if the connectivity issues persist, there may be a larger issue at hand.
2. Changes to Your Bank's Internal Systems: Banks may undergo changes to their internal systems, which can temporarily block Flinks or Yodlee from syncing transactions.
3. Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA): If you're constantly being asked to relink your card, it may be that your bank utilizes security questions as a form of MFA, which expires after a session. A session typically ends after exiting the app, prompting you to repeat the linking process.

Hear From Some of Our Members
Great app! I've been using the app for the past 4 years and have definitely seen the improvement in terms of cash back available and the amount of stores! My only wish is that there were more in store options with some of the online ones!
Great offers! This app has amazing offers that are relevant to a lot of my purchases! I also love that I don't have to log into the app every time I make a purchase. Very efficient.
Constantly improving!!!! Paymi has come a long way since I originally downloaded it. I shop a lot at sporting stores, so I currently get a lot of value from their offers. I would love to see more grocery stores and restaurants on the app.
