Common Questions About Finding Subscriptions
Everything you need to know about bank safety, cancellation, and privacy.
check_circle Will connecting my bank hurt my credit score?
No, never. Connecting through Instant Bank Verification (IBV) is a read-only security check. It does not perform a credit check and has zero impact on your Equifax or TransUnion credit score.
check_circle Can Valora withdraw or move my money?
Never. The connection is strictly 100% read-only. Valora cannot move money, make payments, or make changes to your bank account.
check_circle Can Valora cancel the subscription for me?
Because companies require you to log into your own personal account to cancel, we provide direct 1-click links to their cancellation pages and easy instructions so you can do it in under 2 minutes.
check_circle What if I see a charge I don't recognize?
Many online billing companies charge your card under strange corporate abbreviations. Our system decodes those names so you know exactly who is charging you, and we help you contact your bank if it's fraudulent.
Encrypted Financial Integration: Instant Bank Verification (IBV) connects to Canadian financial institutions via bank-grade 256-bit SSL encryption. Valora Financial never stores, views, or has access to your online banking username or password. Access is strictly read-only for transaction auditing and recurring expense categorization.
Privacy Guarantee: Your financial data is protected in accordance with PIPEDA (Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act). Valora Financial never sells, rents, or shares your financial transaction history with third-party marketers or data brokers.

How We Get You a Better Deal
You don't have to spend your Saturday on hold. Here is how our team handles everything for you:
1. Send Us a Picture of Your Bill
Take a quick photo or screenshot of your monthly bill. We check how much data you actually use and spot any hidden fees or old charges you shouldn't be paying.
2. We Negotiate Exclusive Partner Deals
We take your file directly to our corporate partner contacts at Bell, Rogers, and top carriers. Because we represent thousands of members, we get special group discounts.
3. Scan Your eSIM & Start Saving
Once you approve the deal, we send you a quick QR code. Scan it with your phone, your old bill cancels automatically, and you start saving $40 to $70 every month!
Why We Can Get Deals You Can't Get in Stores
When you walk into a phone store at the mall, they have sales quotas and store commissions. Here is why Valora is different:
Power in Numbers
When one person calls, the phone company doesn't worry about losing them. When Valora speaks on behalf of thousands of members, carriers offer exclusive group rates to keep our members happy.
Zero Mall Kiosk Markups
Mall stores and sales kiosks have high rent and employee sales commissions built into their plan prices. We bypass the stores and connect you directly to corporate partner rates.
You Keep 100% of Every Dollar
Other bill negotiation services take 40% of the money you save as a fee. Valora does not take a single penny. Every dollar saved on your monthly phone bill stays in your bank account.
Calling Alone vs. Having Valora On Your Side
See why letting our team negotiate saves you time, stress, and hundreds of dollars:
| What Happens | Calling the Phone Company Yourself | When Valora Represents You |
|---|---|---|
| Time Spent on Hold | 45 to 90 minutes of elevator music | 0 minutes (We do it all) |
| Typical Monthly Price | $85 to $115/month for basic data | $34 to $45/month with 50GB–100GB 5G |
| How You Switch | Wait for mail or drive to a mall store | Scan an eSIM QR code on your phone in 2m |
| Cancelling Your Old Plan | Must call and fight with retention reps | Cancels automatically when number ports |
| Commission Fees | Store rep makes commission | $0 Fee (100% included in membership) |
Common Questions About Lowering Your Bill
Everything you need to know about switching, keeping your number, and saving money.
check_circle Do I get to keep my same phone number?
Yes, 100%. By Canadian law, your phone number belongs to you. We transfer your number directly to your new plan so you don't lose a single contact, text, or phone call.
check_circle Do I have to call my old company to cancel?
No! Never call them. When we transfer your phone number over to the new partner plan, your old carrier account cancels automatically. You never have to talk to an agent or sit on hold.
check_circle What if I still owe money on my phone tab?
Send us your bill and we will look at your remaining phone tab. In most cases, the $50 to $70 you save every single month with our partner rates is so large that it easily pays off the remaining balance.
check_circle Will my service and coverage stay reliable?
Yes. Our partner plans run on Canada's largest, most reliable 5G and LTE cell towers (including Bell and Rogers networks). You get full coast-to-coast coverage and lightning-fast speeds.

Tax Filing & Advance FAQs
Everything you need to know about household filing, refunds, and advance payouts.
help How quickly do I get my Refund Advance?
Once our tax partner verifies your slips, prepares your T1 return, and you electronically authorize E-Filing via Form T183, eligible advances (50% up to $1,500) are typically dispatched via Interac e-Transfer within 24 to 48 business hours.
help What if I haven't filed my taxes in 2 or 3 years?
You are not alone! Valora's tax partners can help prepare and catch up prior-year back returns so you can recover years of missed GST credits, Ontario Trillium rebates, or provincial family refunds.
help Who counts as the 1 dependent in my household?
Your dependent can be any eligible family member residing in your home—such as a teenager with their first summer job T4, a post-secondary student transferring tuition credits, or a dependent relative.
help How is the Refund Advance paid back?
Zero monthly payments. The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) deposits your full refund directly into your personal bank account. Once your government deposit clears, your advance is settled automatically via a single pre-authorized debit from your connected account. If your refund is delayed or reduced by government arrears (e.g. child support, student loans), your balance is handled through an affordable installment schedule.
Professional Tax Preparation: Valora Financial coordinates personal tax preparation through qualified, accredited third-party tax practitioners registered as authorized Electronic Filers (E-Filers) with the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) and Revenu Québec. Standard returns cover personal T4 employee employment income, credits, and deductions. Complex business write-offs or corporate returns are excluded from standard membership inclusions.
Advance Conditions & TRDA Exemption: Tax refund advances represent conditional bridge credit facilities from independent partner lenders, not tax discounting transactions under the federal Tax Rebate Discounting Act (TRDA). The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) deposits refunds directly into member bank accounts; Valora does not take an assignment of government disbursements. Advance limits are strictly capped at 50% of verified expected refunds up to a maximum of $1,500. Final eligibility is contingent on CRA pre-assessment verification, absence of existing government offsets (such as CRA arrears, Family Responsibility Office holdbacks, or federal student loan garnishments), and signed Form T183 authorization. Where government offsets reduce the deposit, borrowers remain personally responsible for repaying any outstanding advance balance.

Matched with a Licensed Canadian Lender
With Valora's guarantee backing your file, our partner lender has the safety net they need to approve your loan.
Direct Deposit & Structured Repayment
Funds are deposited into your account. You make scheduled bi-weekly repayments directly to the lender.
Understanding Your Suretyship Under Criminal Code Section 347(2)
Section 347(2) of the Canadian Criminal Code explicitly excludes from the definition of interest an insurance charge—defined as an amount paid or payable to an insurer or other person who assumes a risk to insure the risk assumed by the person advancing credit, where the face amount does not exceed the credit advanced. Here is how Valora's commercial guarantee protects you and the lender:
1. Assuming Lender Credit Risk
When a lender loans money to someone with bruised credit, they assume financial risk. Valora steps in as commercial surety to guarantee up to 25% of that risk, giving lenders the confidence to approve your loan when they would otherwise say no.
2. Strict Statutory Cap
Under Canadian law, credit risk guarantee backing cannot exceed the credit advanced. Valora's maximum guarantee is capped at $375 on a $1,500 loan (25%), strictly respecting the statutory safe-harbour ceiling of Section 347(2).
3. $0 Additional Fee to You
You never pay a loan brokerage fee, origination fee, or separate insurance charge. Your suretyship review is 100% included with your regular Valora membership—which also provides your CRA tax filing and bill audits whether you borrow or not.
Why Loan Suretyship Beats the Payday Trap
Compare traditional high-interest borrowing with Valora's suretyship-backed approach:
- × Automatic denial from mainstream lenders due to a low credit score.
- × Forced into predatory 14-day payday loans with high rollover fees.
- × No advocate backing your financial file or helping manage costs.
- ✓ Partner lenders gain risk insurance covering up to 25% of the loan.
- ✓ Predictable installment payments instead of single-paycheck lump sums.
- ✓ Combined with CRA tax filing and bill reviews to help you get ahead.
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about loan suretyship, eligibility, and legal obligations.
help Does Valora lend me the money directly?
No. Valora is a consumer membership platform and surety guarantor, not a lender. All credit agreements and loan disbursements are executed solely between you and independent, licensed third-party Canadian lenders.
help Do I still have to repay the loan if I cancel my membership?
Yes, 100%. Cancelling your Valora membership does not cancel your loan contract with the lender. Furthermore, suretyship is protection for the lender, not debt forgiveness. Under Canadian common law and your Suretyship Agreement, if you default and Valora satisfies any guaranteed balance on your behalf to the lender, you remain legally obligated to indemnify and reimburse Valora in full.
help Can I qualify with a low credit score or past bankruptcy?
Yes. Our surety endorsement is built specifically for Canadians with bruised or rebuilding credit. Partner lenders evaluate your regular payroll deposits and cash-flow health rather than relying purely on an old credit score.
help Does suretyship guarantee I will get approved?
No. While our surety backing significantly reduces lender risk, final loan approval, interest rates, and loan terms remain entirely with the independent participating lender under their statutory underwriting criteria.
Criminal Code Section 347(2) Compliance: Valora Financial provides consumer advocacy and conditional suretyship endorsements. Where a surety guarantee is extended to an independent lending partner, it constitutes an insurance charge under Section 347(2) of the Criminal Code (R.S.C., 1985, c. C-46), representing the cost of insuring or assuming the risk assumed by the person advancing credit. In accordance with Section 347(2), the face amount of the suretyship guarantee ($375 maximum) does not exceed the total credit advanced ($1,500 maximum).
Lender Independence & $0 Fee Safe Harbor: Valora Financial does not advance credit, lend money, establish interest rates, or broker loans for a fee. Loan agreements and disbursements are executed solely by licensed third-party lenders. Valora charges $0 loan fees to borrowers; membership dues ($50/14 days) are paid exclusively for independent financial wellness services (CRA tax filing, bill reductions, and education) whether or not credit is requested or approved. Valora suretyship does not relieve borrowers of their legal obligation to repay all borrowed principal, interest, and applicable loan charges to the lender, and borrowers agree to indemnify Valora for any guarantee claims paid on their behalf.
For Lenders & Partners
Valora can support lender-referred customers through financial checkups, member services, financial education, debt-support routing, optional consumer-authorized data workflows, and limited surety programs.

account_balance 3. Pre-Authorized Debit (PAD) Authorization (Payments Canada Rule H1)
By enrolling in the Valora Membership, you authorize Valora Financial Services Inc. and its designated payment processing partners to initiate recurring Pre-Authorized Debits (PAD) from your specified bank account or debit card.
Waiver of Pre-Notification: You waive any requirement under Payments Canada Rule H1 for ten (10) calendar days pre-notification prior to each scheduled recurring debit where the amount and frequency match this agreement.
Recourse & Reimbursement Rights: You have certain recourse rights if any debit does not comply with this agreement.

To obtain more information on your recourse rights, contact your financial institution or visit www.payments.ca.
cancel 4. Cancellation Policy & Notice Period
You may cancel your recurring Valora membership at any time with zero cancellation penalties or lock-in contracts.
How to Cancel: You can cancel self-service at any time by navigating to your Account Settings (/app/account) and clicking "Request Plan Cancellation", or by emailing billing@valorafinancial.ca.

shield 5. Active Loans & Subrogation Indemnity
Independent Loan Obligation: If you obtain a loan from an independent participating lender backed by Valora suretyship, your loan agreement is executed solely with that lender. Cancelling your Valora membership does not cancel, alter, or relieve your legal obligation to repay your loan in full directly to the lender.
Guarantor Subrogation & Indemnity: Valora suretyship represents credit risk protection for the lender, not debt forgiveness for the borrower. In the event that your loan goes into default and Valora is required under its commercial guarantee to satisfy any unpaid balance to the lender on your behalf (up to the 25% statutory cap), you acknowledge and agree that Valora becomes subrogated to all rights of the lender, and you remain personally obligated under Canadian common law to indemnify and reimburse Valora in full for any amount paid.
