About
Canadian Tire Bank (CTB) is a financial services branch of Canadian Tire Corporation, Ltd. It was established in 2003 and acquired the MasterCard Portfolio from Canadian Tire Financial Services Limited. CTFSL was established in 1961 as a financial service company that provided third-party credit processing for local retailers.

Features
CTB is a financial service company, a subsidiary of Canadian Tire Company, known for its loyalty program, Canadian Tire money (CT Money), launched in 1958. Customers could use it to buy anything at the participating stores. It's a well-organized program replaced by Triangle Rewards that has been operating and evolving in the long run. The paper coupons are still issued and accepted, however, at a lower rate than plastic reward cards have.
The company is focused on a rewards program and credit cards that allow you to earn cashback using a rewards card, credit card, mobile app, or even paper coupons and redeem them mostly for anything you want at the wide range of stores offline and online. But you can't obtain services like loans, mortgages or chequing accounts, RESP, RRSP, investments, and business accounts.
Canadian Tire Bank is a developing company that implements new products such as a mobile application and getting to offer a wider range of options like deposit accounts for existing and new clients. You may use their online and in-store services for your convenience.
