Every WillStreet article contains something no competitor can replicate: a system-level explanation of how Canadian financial products are designed — drawn from years inside banking operations.
Not an exposé. Not leaks. System-level education every Canadian deserves but nobody explains clearly.
Our Story →What your bank statement doesn't say about minimum payments
Minimum payment structures in Canadian consumer credit products are typically designed to meet regulatory minimums while maximising the revolving balance — the source of interest revenue. This isn't a secret. It's just rarely explained clearly.
The longer you carry that balance, the more predictable the revenue becomes. Understanding this changes how you approach every payment decision.
"Canadian credit card pricing is built around the assumption that most cardholders carry a balance. The pricing model rewards revolving debt, not transaction volume."
