Sending money is simple and can be done by bank transfer in reais (R $).

Best Exchange Rate

Lock or unlock the card instantly. Access to cash is restricted until the card is found or a new card is added to the SideKick application.

Financial Education (coming soon)

SideKick helps the student to control his budget and access offers and discounts while abroad.

Add SideKick Card to your welcome package and save time for your counsellors.

For Summer Camps & ESL Schools

Managing cash or paying fees on credit cards can dampen the experience for international students. All students, short term or long, can use SideKick to pay for all living expenses during their time away from their parents.
Include SideKick Card in your ESL & Summer Camp packages and make their experience in Canada safer and stress free.

For Colleges & Universities

Adult students can load money and monitor their own SideKick Cards. Students can control their budget and take advantages of better exchanges rates compared to prepaid travel cards or money transfer services.
