Today, I'll talk about two financial services companies that are providing free trade monitoring for Canadians after the recent Equifax data breach. I'm expecting this video to be about 4-5 minutes long and I'll take you to my computer screen right after this. The two financial services companies which are offering free trade monitoring for Canadians are Credit Karma and Mogo.ca. Credit Karma provides free trans-union trade score and credit report and Credit Karma is also providing free trade monitoring when you sign up with them. So once you sign up, this company will monitor your credit score and when something happens, for example, someone changes on your trans-union credit report like a new account is added or a hard inquiry is made, then you'll be notified via email. And this is all free. Another financial services company which is a loan provider, mainly online loan provider Mogo.ca is also offering free trade monitoring for Canadians. For example, if you look here, this company also provides you free trade score which is an Equifax credit score, not trans-union credit score like Credit Karma. And they just recently mentioned in an email which they sent to me that they have a new alert feature which will let the customer know once there were changes made into the account. However, if you can see right here that I'm not sure about whether this already started this feature or this is going to be happening in the future. So you just mentioned that we are also working on new features such as alerting you when there is a new credit inquiry. So the term we're also working on new features. It doesn't necessarily mean that it is live or active right now, but it sounds like they're going to be offering this feature in the future. However, I might be wrong, but according to their email they're sending me, it sounds like they're still working on this. So I'm not sure at this point whether this is already active or something coming up in the future. However, for Credit Karma, this is active and this is live. So once you sign up with them, then they will ask you whether you'd like to see a notification and if you just consent to that pop up on the screen, then you'll be able to receive free credit monitoring from Credit Karma and I'll provide you with a print screen of that pop up which I'll have on the screen and you'll be able to see. So these are the two options for now. So it's a good idea to have set up a free credit monitoring on your credit reports or credit accounts that way. You'll know that if someone is trying to do something, for example, changing your address or applying for new credit cards or asking for a credit limit increase or anything, then you should be able to get a notification from these companies and that's a safe way to keep an eye on your credit report and credit score after the Equifax data breach. So that's all for now. If you like what you see, please give it a thumbs up and consider subscribing and there will be more videos coming up. So thank you for watching and I'll see you shortly. Bye.
