Presidents Choice Financial MASTERCARD Consumer Reviews

So disappointed with President Choice Mastercard Company they couldn’t detect fraud transactions not even once but twice!!! Unlike other Mastercard Company if they see a suspicious transaction they always informed the client if they are the ones who did it or not for security reasons. If I could rate it as ZERO I will so disappointing and they couldn’t reverse the transactions that the scammers charged to our credit twice. How could this Company run their business and could not detect scam and fraud transactions!!!

I've been a PC Financial Mastercard holder for almost 10 years. Everything was fine until one day my card had been compromised. That is when the nightmare began. I've spent the last 6 months being sent from department to department, fighting them over the fraudulent transaction. To this day I'm still fighting them over it. The disorganization is horrible. Stay far far away from PC Financial if you value your sanity. You've been warned

My father has always paid all his bills in full and on time. He is now 92 and is not happy with his current Mastercard service. We thought we would try PC MC.

We were asked the usual questions, to verify who we were. We were then asked multiple-choice questions and told to give the answer that was the closest to the right answer. Excuse me but what...? And then told we answered wrong.

He has never experienced anything like this before in his life. He is an honest, hard-working man, who has never had a problem of this kind ever. Right now I am so shocked by how he was treated I cannot find the words to describe how I am feeling. Very angry and upset by how he was treated by this company.

The customer service is really bad, every time when calling, it will take at least 45 mins waiting time to get hold of someone, then they will transfer you to another person for another 20-25 mins. I was with them for 15 years and recently found there is a fraudulent transaction. It was a restaurant purchase at a transportation company. Obviously, this transaction is not right but they kept asking me if I did any purchase there or used it for any online purchase. We were on the phone for about half an hour, and they said they could not do anything to help. I’m not suggesting people use this card, and if you do, make sure you check all your transactions. Well, if there are fraudulent ones, they are probably not going to help anyway. You are gonna stuck there paying just like me. I cancelled my card right away.

I was being scammed by a cryptocurrency user.
During this large transaction, a computer-animated operator calls you to confirm a large transaction if you authorize it. Had an actual human being operator called and gave heed OF WARNING, I could have saved myself $5045 and not gone through with the transaction and gave a better thought to not have money stolen from me. These are SCAMS! PEOPLE, take my lesson to learn and save yourself from being robbed. I am giving them time to make it right on both ends of a horrible mistake!

The thief called PC Financial in March 2020 cancelled my credit card and asked to deliver a new card to his address. The bank issued a new card to a thief, who committed fraudulent transactions abroad for 3 months. The collectors started calling asking me to pay for the bill in July 2020. Since my card was cancelled, PC issued to me a new card. I wanted to close my profile and have no deal with this compromised bank, but they transferred all fraudulent transactions to this new card and keep sending me the bills to pay. The issue is not resolved until now, their agents don't work, I've been calling them all this time for over 6 months trying to set up this issue. To all cardholders: this bank is compromised, anyone can have access to your personal information and their agents will not protect you.

I used to work for one of the big 5 so have some experience. I got this for PC points and then one month they lowered my limit. I contacted them and it was restored only to be reduced 2 weeks later... Whenever I use secure messaging via the app I’m told I have to call. When a supervisor is requested they’re not available but will call back in 24 hours.

In their defence, they do call back but it’s days later, unfortunately.

Not impressed.

Got the card approved 2 months ago, 12k limit, used one time at No Frills, spent $90.00 and then Esso speed pass app. Used it twice, about $120.00 ($60*2) Then card got suspended. The same case as others, call them up, give me all about I was under their fraud alert, ask me series of questions and I told them I have been living at the same address for more than 20+ years. They, basically, ignore what I said. I spoke to them and all my security questions answered were correct, but they still claim I was under fraud monitoring. What is that? I asked to speak to that department, they said - no, then they said they will file a case onto my account and they will review it. Of course, they didn't, called them up twice every 3 days, they ask me the same stuff again, said that my card gets reactivate within 24 hours, he told me to trust him. No need to call back. Fine! 6 days later, went to Tim Horton's and tried it out, the same decline message. Call card provider, such a joke! PC MasterCard, shame on you! If you are not willing to lend, don't ask us to apply! Wasting our time and take a hit on our credit. Anyone who sees this message, AVOID them!

I had a PC Financial credit card for several years, and in 2020, they suspended my card for maintaining a balance for too long. Not for being overlimit, not for not making payments; simply for maintaining a balance, in spite of always keeping it under the limit and paying at least my minimum every month (often more than that). I contacted them about this and the agent claimed that this was a rule and that I'd been notified. I had not. There was no letter on record and nothing on any of my previous statements warning about this action being taken. In spite of this they refused to remove the suspension and just offered that if I made a larger payment, they could consider unsuspending. I immediately made a larger payment (IIRC about 1/4 of the balance), and they told me that wasn't enough, and that they would now unsuspend my account when the balance was paid. So in April, I paid down the remaining balance, and have maintained a zero balance since then as I intended to buy tickets with PC Travel this fall. Fast forward to today, and I attempted to buy the tickets. Turns out my card still wasn't working. I called them to enquire, and they now said that my card was marked for purging due to being unused for too long. I asked them why this was because it wasn't set to expire until July 2021, and they said that they reserve the right to purge accounts, not in use. I asked them to reconsider, under the circumstances, and given the runaround, they'd given me, but they would not. My only option would be to wait for the card to be purged and then reapply for a new card. No thank you! Stay away from PC Financial Mastercard.

I noticed on my statement that someone else was using my card everyday for skip the dishes. I called the card company. I was put on hold. When I did get a recording saying 16 people were ahead of me. No option for a call back. Not only that if it is over 30 days they won't help you.
The insurance is the same as the amount I spent. A nightmare.
