SideKick Cards are issued by Mastercard, which has approved our program in conjunction with Peoples Trust (PT), a leading issuer of prepaid and credit payment cards and recognized as a pioneer and innovator of prepaid cards in Canada.
All money sent to SideKick is secured in a bank account at PT, which ensures that the funds are available directly to users, without interference from SideKick. In the unlikely event that SideKick fails, your funds remain secure at Peoples Trust.
In addition, SideKick adheres to strict financial regulations, as dictated by FINTRAC (Financial Transactions and Reports Analysis Centre of Canada).
