Financial Writer

Do you want to champion meaningful, helpful, and accurate personal finance content that impacts other Canadians you meet in your daily life?

Credible, accessible, and trusted content has become harder to sift through in this current landscape of 1-click publish.

That's where you come in.

Your uncompromising high standards will champion Canadians in every piece of content we publish.

Who do we think we are?

Excellent question. WeyMedia is a proudly Maritime company with a simple mission:

Make money easy and fun for everyone.

To do that, we strive to make both moneyGenius.ca and creditcardGenius.ca the best in our space. Although we're a young company, these two websites have already become two of the top resources for Canadian consumers.

Our team helps over 250,000 Canadians make the best financial and money-saving decisions by crafting accurate and high-quality personal finance content, technology, comparison tools, and reviews.

We also actively reward our readers through GeniusCash ‒ our very own cash back rewards program on participating credit cards.

(And if that wasn’t enough, check out our $10K Tesla giveaway.)
