🎉 Some Exciting Changes Coming to Our Community

Announcements

Hey everyone :waving_hand:,
We’ve been thinking a lot about this community and how to make it more valuable for you. We want this to be a space where we can all learn from each other, share experiences, and navigate our financial journeys together.

So we’re making some changes.

Why we’re doing this:
Neo’s mission is about making banking more accessible to Canadians. This community should reflect that – a place where we help each other with credit questions, share savings tips, celebrate wins, and learn together.

What’s new:
We’re reorganizing our categories to make things clearer and easier to navigate:
∙ Announcements - Updates from the Neo team
∙ Community Support - Get help from members who’ve been there before
∙ Community Lounge - General chat and discussion
∙ Money Matters - Financial tips, credit building, saving strategies
∙ Member Wins - Celebrate your progress with us
∙ Building Neo - Share product feedback and ideas

We’re also changing how we show up here. Starting next week, you’ll see us posting regularly with questions, tips, and conversations. We want to be more active and create space for real discussions.

What to expect:
We’re kicking things off with a simple question: What’s your biggest financial goal for 2026?
From there, we’ll be here consistently – sharing content, asking questions, and hopefully hearing from you too.

We’re excited about this. :fire:

We think this space can be really valuable, and we’re looking forward to building it with you.

You can do it! If you’re careful, smart, and (honestly) a bit lucky. Are you looking for a 50 point increase?

Curious what those habits are, would you be willing to share them?

I am also rebuilding my emergency fund. Honestly, we’re spending way more than we probably should be on our wedding, I am short about $5,000 on having a reasonable emergency fund.

My goal for this 2026 is to renew my mortgage. I know my rate will increase significantly but I’m hoping that my new rate will be less than double the old one. Things aren’t looking good on that front but I’ve still got a few months before it comes due. :crossed_fingers:
