Cheque in for Charity

Boy playing with building blocks

Cheque in for Charity and support Alberta’s Children’s Hospital Foundation.

From December 5th 2016 through to January 13th, 2017, visit one of Scotiabank’s #ChequeInForCharity participating branches in Calgary and discover how easy and convenient mobile cheque deposits and paying bills digitally can be, with the added benefit of supporting Alberta Children’s Hospital Foundation.

How it works

A Scotiabank employee will walk you through the simple steps of depositing a $5 pre-printed cheque using the Scotiabank Mobile App on a mobile device. Once deposited, you’ll be shown how to set up a bill payee, in this case the Alberta Children’s Hospital Foundation, and proceed to make a bill payment to the hospital for 50% of the $5 cheque, keeping the other 50% for yourself.

Whether you’re in a rush and you don’t have time to visit a branch or ABM, or you’re curious about how digital banking can help make banking easier, this is a great opportunity to experience real-time banking right in your own hands.

All money raised will be donated to Alberta Children's Hospital Foundation.
