– moneysense.ca
When you’re young, life is simple—after all, it’s just you. But as you achieve some of life’s milestones—marriage, home, family—it gets more complicated. You’ve worked hard to achieve those goals, which is why it’s important to put measures in place to protect what you’ve built and those that matter most.

Do I need life insurance?
Yes, especially if your loved ones would face financial hardship if you were no longer able to provide for them. Life insurance benefit can provide protection if you have an outstanding credit card balance, student debt, a mortgage on a home, or a loan that someone has co-signed for.

According to Moneris Solutions, the largest card payment processor in the country, the dollar volume of tap to pay spending made across its terminals has been skyrocketing lately.
“More Canadians – especially younger ones – are tapping their cards to pay as opposed to inserting them into payment terminals,” says Rob Cameron, Chief Product Officer at Moneris. “We’ve seen the number of contactless transactions more than double this year, which is a strong indication that mobile payments are going to see a huge lift.”
