We've partnered with Hero Innovation Group to make it easier for students to manage their funds in Canada through the SideKick Card – a prepaid Mastercard that helps international students pay for everything from coffee to rent.
Parents can securely fund their child’s Hero prepaid card from anywhere in the world. TransferMate’s regulated payments network ensures fast, compliant transfers across 200+ countries and 140+ currencies - ready to support Hero’s future global expansion.
Once funds arrive, students can spend immediately in Canadian dollars. No waiting periods, no bank delays - just smooth, reliable access to living expenses wherever they are.
With Hero’s Sidekick app, parents get full visibility and control. They can track spending in real time, set limits, freeze cards if needed, and always see clear exchange rates and fees - ensuring confidence and predictability at every step.
