Frequently Asked Questions

Why does Goodside ask me to connect my credit card(s)?

Estimating your carbon footprint and calculating your Goodside score are key features of the Goodside app. In order to estimate your carbon footprint and calculate your Goodside score, we need to be able to see how much and where you're spending.

Is it safe to link my credit card?

Yes. Goodside is operated by RBC Ventures Inc., a subsidiary of Royal Bank of Canada (RBC). Safeguarding the security of our systems and the confidentiality of our clients’ information is always a top priority. If you choose to connect a credit card to Goodside then we'll use a third party service provider (Fidel) to connect your credit card. Goodside does not use your online credentials to connect your credit card. Transaction information collected and stored from a connected card is encrypted and anonymized.

What kinds of cards can be connected?

Credit cards issued by Visa can be connected to the app. Contact us if you have any issues connecting your account(s).

What happens if I no longer want my credit card connected to the Goodside app?

If you want to disconnect a credit card from the Goodside app, you’re free to remove it at any time—it just involves a few simple steps. To disconnect a credit card account:

Log in to your Goodside app and tap on your Profile icon at the bottom right of the screen.
Tap the Manage cards list item.
Tap the account you want to remove.
Select Remove account on the final screen.
