Capital One Quicksilver Mastercard Review 2026: Is It Worth It in Canada?

Updated

Important notice: The Capital One Quicksilver Mastercard is primarily a United States credit card product. Capital One Canada’s credit card lineup is distinct from the US range. Verify whether this card is currently available to Canadian residents at capitalone.ca before applying. This review covers the product’s general characteristics as they may apply in Canada — confirm all details directly with Capital One Canada.

The Capital One Quicksilver, in its US form, is a no-annual-fee flat-rate cash back card earning 1.5% on all eligible purchases. If Capital One Canada offers an equivalent product, it would be positioned among Canada’s no-fee flat-rate cash back options alongside the Rogers Red Mastercard (1.5%) and the Amex SimplyCash Card (1.25%). Verify current Canadian product availability and terms at capitalone.ca.

Quick Verdict

Best for: Verify availability in Canada at capitalone.ca. If available: Canadians who want a no-annual-fee flat-rate cash back Mastercard from Capital One.
Not ideal for: Canadians who need a confirmed Canadian product — if the Quicksilver is not available in Canada, see the alternatives section below for confirmed no-fee flat-rate cash back cards available to Canadians.

About Capital One Canada

Capital One operates in Canada as a separate entity from Capital One US, subject to Canadian federal banking regulation and FCAC oversight. The Canadian credit card lineup includes Mastercard products for travel rewards and cash back, but product names and earn structures differ from US equivalents.

Visit capitalone.ca for:

  • Current Canadian product lineup
  • Application eligibility and income requirements
  • Current interest rates and fee schedules (governed by FCAC disclosure rules)

Bottom Line

Before applying for any Capital One product in Canada, verify the current Canadian card lineup at capitalone.ca. If the Quicksilver is not available in Canada, the Rogers Red Mastercard (1.5% everywhere, Mastercard, no annual fee) is the closest confirmed Canadian equivalent.

Card availability, terms, earn rates, and annual fee are subject to verification at capitalone.ca. All Canadian credit card terms are subject to FCAC regulations and issuer discretion.
