Small changes, big difference

Mortgage-Free Faster
A few small changes such as bi-weekly payments, small extra lump sum payments, even $500 a year makes a difference; and a 2% annual increase in your mortgage payments could help you become mortgage-free faster.
Diversify your Mortgage
The cornerstone of your borrowing plan should be the Scotia Total Equity® Plan (STEP) which gives you the flexibility you need for borrowing. It lets you mix short-term and long-term or variable and fixed rates. Take advantage of low interest rates in the short term while protecting against increases over the long term. You can also include lines of credit, credit cards and other borrowing products as your needs change. With STEP you may never have to apply for credit again.

STEP is an innovative borrowing program that makes it easier to get the things you need and want. It's a custom built plan that lets you decide how and when you'll use your available credit. Save by splitting your mortgage between fixed and variable rate products or between long and short-term products. This way you can take advantage of low interest rates in the short term, while protecting against increases over the long-term.
