KOHO: Personal Finance

About KOHO: Personal Finance

KOHO is a smart spending account that’s changing the way Canadians bank.

You get a free spending account that earns instant cash back on every purchase, and an app that helps you save money. Since KOHO works like a debit account, you’ll avoid the pesky interest that comes with a regular credit card.

Signing up is easy and takes less than 5 minutes!

Here’s why Canadians love KOHO:

The savings rate for Canadians is below 2% of income. Using KOHO’s saving features, the average KOHO user saves 7% of the money they put into their account each month.

Canadians spend on average $159 a year in bank fees. The fees at KOHO are $0.

Canadians spend on average around $500 in credit card interest. But with KOHO, it’s your money, so you’ll never owe interest.
