Modernizing our credit card management system
The modernization of our credit card management system is focused on better meeting your needs in the coming years by offering you a simplified experience and enhanced features.
Why we modernized our credit card management system
Modernizing our system allows us to offer you a simpler and more seamless experience. You can now access new self-service features to manage your credit cards.
This change also helps us continually improve our services and keep them reliable and effective, while responding to your feedback and evolving needs.
Temporary impacts of the system upgrade
Some features may be temporarily affected by our system upgrade. Everything will be back to normal soon.
Real-time balance and available credit display
As of October 19, our transition to the new system may temporarily affect the information displayed in our mobile and online services.
Your card balance and available credit amounts may not include all of your recent transactions. Some transactions that are authorized but not yet posted by the merchant may also not appear in your transaction list for a few days. They’ll be processed normally and will reappear once posted. Everything will go back to normal in a few days.
To see your transactions, balance due and payment due date, look at your monthly statement. To download your statement, log in to our mobile and online services, select your credit card, then select Statements and View latest statement or View all statements.
Previous statements
Some of your previous statements may not be available in our mobile and online services. This is temporary and will be resolved soon.
Prepayment processing for Accord D and Accord D Business financing
From October 12 to 20, if you made a prepayment toward your Accord D or Accord D Business financing, the amount may temporarily appear as a credit on your credit card.
As of October 20, your payments will gradually be applied to your credit card in the usual order. If you want your payments to be applied differently, contact us.
To learn more about Accord D installment payments and prepayments, see the Accord D financing and the Accord D Business financing section.

Improvements for individuals
We’ve updated some credit card features and products to make them easier to manage and improve your experience. Check out what’s new.
Joint cardholder option remains, plus other cardholder options
To continue to meet your needs, we’ve ensured that joint cardholders can keep their joint accounts.
With the upgrades we’ve done to our system, we can also offer you other ways to have a credit card.
Options for credit card accounts
See the different ways you can have a credit card account and their associated roles and actions.
Roles
- Primary cardholder
- Joint cardholder
- Authorized user
You temporarily won’t be able to add a joint cardholder to a new or existing card. This feature will be reintroduced within the next few months. In the meantime, you can add an authorized user to your card and give them viewing rights. This gives them the ability to see all transactions made, the available credit and the account balance.
To simplify matters, we use the term cardholder to designate both primary and joint cardholders. All cardholders on a credit card account are responsible for the entire debt and management of the account.
Questions about joint credit card accounts?
See our FAQ on joint accounts for more information.

Accord D financing
As part of modernizing our credit card management system, we’ve changed your Accord D financing experience, including how information is displayed and how you manage and repay your financing.
Where to find your Accord D financing
You can now go to the Cards, loans and credit section in your Account Summary (in the Desjardins mobile services app) or on the AccèsD home page.
Converting your Accord D financing into a personal loan
If you’re eligible, you may be able to get a better rate
To be eligible for this rate on your current financing:
- Your balance must be at least $100.
- Your remaining term must be at least 2 months.
You must also be a Desjardins member.
The rate is automatically offered to you in our mobile and online services if you meet all the requirements.
You can convert your financing yourself using our mobile and online services or with the help of an advisor.
Viewing your Accord D monthly installment
Your Accord D monthly installment no longer appears in your credit card balance. To see what you need to pay, check your statement. You’ll find your payment amounts included under Amount due this month and Minimum payment due. The minimum payment due that appears in our mobile and online services also includes your Accord D monthly installment.
Accord D monthly installment payments and prepayments
- Payment of your Accord D monthly installments and any prepayments will go through your credit card account instead of directly toward your Accord D financing plan.
- When you pay your monthly installment or make a prepayment toward your Accord D financing, the amount is temporarily credited to your card, then transferred to your financing plan within 24 to 72 hours.
- When you make a prepayment, the way your payment is allocated depends on your total credit card balance and the order in which payments are applied. If you want to customize how your payment is allocated, contact us.
- Since Accord D financing payments now go through your credit card, your pre-scheduled payments may not work anymore. If this happens, we’ll let you know and you can contact us to discuss your options.
New account statement
Your account statement has been redesigned to make your financial information easier to read and understand. Certain words have also changed. Your statement still has the information you need about any Accord D financing or installment plans you may have. The first statement you receive after the upgrades will look a bit different from the ones that follow.

Amount due
The amount due is the amount you need to pay before the due date to avoid credit charges. It’s equivalent to the New regular balance on the old statement. It includes all transactions from the statement period, as well as any Accord D financing or installment payments.
Financing plans
If you have an Accord D financing or installment payment plan, you can still see them on your statement as part of your account overview. Your monthly installment amounts are included in the Minimum payment due and the Amount due.
Changes to Credit Balance Insurance
If you have Credit Balance Insurance, here are some changes made to your agreement:
- The benefit payable is calculated based on the account balance the day before the eligible event instead of on the latest statement balance.
- In the case of a covered event, transactions starting the day of the event and authorized unposted transactions from the day before aren’t covered.

First statement after the system upgrade
Rewards program
The first account statement issued after October 19 will only include the balance of your rewards program (labelled Total on your statement). The following statements will include all the rewards program information you’re used to seeing.
Balance transfer
If you use decentralized payments, a Balance transfer transaction will appear on your first statement. This transaction shows the balances carried over to your account. It includes the total balance of your credit cards and your Accord D Business financing, if applicable.
This Balance transfer transaction serves as the link between old statement balance and your new statement balance. It won’t appear on your following statements. Instead, you’ll see Previous Balance. Your products’ payment terms and the conditions remain the same.
In the past, there were certain situations where a lower interest rate might apply if your last statement’s balance wasn’t fully paid off. After our upgrades, the interest is calculated as set out in your contract, as of the date of the transaction.
