How to Get Cash Back on Your City of Nanaimo bill

What is City of Nanaimo?

The City asks you to allow 3 to 5 business days for a bank payment, and suggests searching for Nanaimo only and picking the right account type; property taxes are due on the first business day in July after Canada Day. The math on this page uses $200/month as an example property tax; your own amount will differ, and the cash back scales with it.

Can I Pay City of Nanaimo With a Credit Card?

Yes, and it's the whole point. Most billers don't reward you for how you pay. Through Neobanc, your card earns its normal rewards and Neobanc adds 1% cash back on top. On a $200/month City of Nanaimo property tax, that's roughly $72 back per year between a 2% cash-back card and Neobanc, for the exact same property tax.

The Math on Your City of Nanaimo Property Tax

On a $200/month property tax, a 2% cash-back card returns about $4.00/month, and Neobanc adds $2.00 on top, roughly $72 per year for switching how you pay, not what you pay.

How do I save the most on my City of Nanaimo property tax each month?

Change how you pay before what you pay. Paying by bank transfer or Pre-Authorized Withdrawals (PAWS) earns nothing; the same property tax through Neobanc with a cash-back card returns about $72 a year. A 2% penalty is applied at the end of the day on the tax due date and an additional 8% at the end of the last business day of August, and penalties cannot be reduced or waived. A recurring Neobanc payment a few business days before the due date earns on every cycle and never runs late.
