For example is the Canadian Tire card just a Visa or MasterCard in disguise?
I’m switching to interact for as many transactions as I can but I would like to be able to cancel my visa if there’s an alternate.
There use to be a Canadian credit card called Chargex, it was launched in 1968 by TD, RBC and a few other big banks. It was acquired by Visa and today the only game in town is either Visa or MasterCard as other commenters have said.

Canada needs to stop putting our vital infrastructure into the beak of America to crush. Rip Chargex and Avro Arrow.
We need Interac, Wero and JCB credit cards in Canada now!
