The Meridian Visa US Dollar Card is a specialised card for members who spend in US dollars. It is useful if you want to separate USD purchases from your Canadian-dollar spending and manage those transactions in a dedicated card account.
Quick Verdict
Best for: Meridian members with regular USD spending or US travel.
Not ideal for: anyone who wants a rewards card or who prefers a simple no-FX Canadian-dollar card.
