How Casa lets Canadians turn rent into rewards with no transaction fees

Mar 26 2026, 1:53 pm

It’s no secret that the rising cost of living is consuming a larger share of Canadians’ budgets, making it more important than ever to get the most value from every dollar spent.

But what about expenses that aren’t optional, like rent, condo fees, and housing payments?

Casa is a new Canadian payments and rewards platform1 built to help renters and condo owners put their housing payments to work.

The company recently teamed up with Scotiabank to pair Casa’s purpose-built housing payments platform with the ScotiaGold Passport® Visa* Card and the Scene+™ program, enabling eligible cardholders to pay rent and condo fees through the platform with no transaction fee3 — a first in Canada4!

Cardholders also earn one Scene+™ point per dollar on eligible everyday purchases, and those who spend at least $350 per month also earn one Scene+ point per dollar on housing payments made through the platform. It’s an effortless way to earn Scene+ points on every rent payment and put them towards your next flight or grocery haul.

By modernizing housing payments, Casa lets renters earn rewards, manage cash flow with greater payment flexibility, and build credit through on-time payments.

Get more out of your largest monthly expense

Rent and condo fees don’t usually come with perks, but Casa is changing the game. Instead of watching a big chunk of your pay cheque disappear every month, Casa lets you earn real rewards on every dollar you spend, so you can turn your housing payments into something that actually gives back.

Casa is available to residents across Canada, even in buildings that don’t accept credit cards, meaning everyone has the opportunity to unlock more value from monthly housing payments.

You can pay rent or condo fees through the Casa platform using any Canadian Visa or Mastercard credit or debit card, allowing you to earn rewards from the cards you already use.

No transaction fees

Hung up on those transaction fees? Thanks to Casa’s collaboration with Scotiabank’s ScotiaGold Passport® Visa* Card cardholders can now make housing payments with no transaction fee – removing the usual trade-off between fees and rewards.
