The Ultimate Package monthly account fee is waived if a minimum daily closing balance of $6,000 is maintained for the entire month in the Ultimate Package account. If the minimum daily closing balance of $6,000 is not maintained for the entire month in the Ultimate Package account but you have a Total Relationship Balance of $100,000 or more for the entire month, the monthly account fee of the Ultimate Package account will be either waived, or charged then rebated within the first 10 business days of the following month. This Ultimate Package monthly account fee waiver is limited to one waiver or rebate per client per month. For joint Ultimate Package accounts, the Total Relationship Balances are calculated separately for each accountholder and the monthly account fee will be waived or rebated if any one of the joint accountholder’s Total Relationship Balance is $100,000 or more. The Ultimate Package account must have sufficient funds to cover any fees, including the monthly account fee.
Total Relationship Balance: for any day, the sum of daily closing balances for that day in your eligible Scotiabank chequing accounts, savings accounts, GICs, and Mutual Funds including Scotia Registered Accounts and Scotia Investment Accounts (as defined in the Investment Companion Booklet) (“Eligible Accounts”) linked to your retail client profile for which you hold your Ultimate Package. A complete list of the Eligible Accounts is found at scotiabank.com/totalrelationshipbalance and Eligible Accounts include sole and joint accounts. For Mutual Funds, your daily closing balance is based on market value. For GICs where interest is paid before maturity, your daily closing balance is equal to the principal amount less the amount of all partial redemptions plus any accrued and unpaid interest up to that date. For GICs where interest is compounded, your daily closing balance is equal to the principal amount less the amount of all partial redemptions plus compound interest earned, plus interest accrued and unpaid up to that date. For eligible non-Canadian dollar accounts, the balance will be determined based on the daily exchange rate determined by us and shown in Canadian Dollars.
Exclusions: All non-personal accounts and accounts held at Scotia McLeod, iTrade and/or any account type that is not in this list found at scotiabank.com/totalrelationshipbalance are excluded from the Total Relationship Balance.
If a transaction is recorded retroactively in the Eligible Account (“Backdated Transaction”), the Backdated Transaction will not retroactively change your Total Relationship Balance that was used to determine the eligibility for the monthly account fee waiver or rebate. In other words, we will consider the eligibility of the monthly account fee waiver or rebate only once at the end of any given month and will not reconsider even though a Backdated Transaction was retroactively recorded.
By opening your Ultimate Package account, you consent for The Bank of Nova Scotia to review your Eligible Accounts held at the Bank of Nova Scotia (“Eligible BNS Accounts”) as well as Eligible Accounts held at Scotia Securities Inc. (“Eligible SSI Accounts”), including the balances held at both Eligible BNS Accounts and Eligible SSI Accounts (including your sole account balances and any joint account balances you hold with other account holders) for the purpose of evaluating, calculating, and investigating the Total Relationship Balance tier applicable to your Ultimate Package.
Privacy Statement: If you have a joint Ultimate Package account and it receives a monthly account fee waiver based on the Total Relationship Balance, the other Ultimate Package joint accountholder may be able to infer that you hold a qualifying balance and/or have other products with us. This is because the Total Relationship Balance includes the balances held individually or jointly in other Eligible Accounts. If you prefer not to have the individual balances in your Eligible Accounts considered for the monthly account fee waiver eligibility on a joint account, please speak with your advisor or visit a branch to explore alternative banking options that may better suit your privacy preferences.
If you open an Ultimate Package account (the “Account”), on or after the date you open the Account (“Account Open Date”) you will receive an annual fee rebate of up to $150 on one Eligible Card that you hold as the primary cardholder (“Annual Fee Rebate”), for each year as long as you have one eligible Scotiabank Credit Card account (an “Eligible Card”) and the Account which are open and in good standing. You will receive the Annual Fee Rebate, even if you opened an Eligible Card prior to the Account Open Date. Eligible Cards are the Scotiabank Gold American Express®, Scotiabank Passport Visa Infinite +, Scotiabank Passport® Visa Infinite Privilege*, Scotia Momentum Visa Infinite + and Scotiabank Value® Visa* credit cards. Eligible Cards are subject to change. Each Account will only receive one Annual Fee Rebate regardless of the number of accountholders on the Account or Eligible Cards held or opened. The Annual Fee Rebate will be applied to the first annual fee charged on the Eligible Card after the Account Open Date. If you are the primary cardholder of multiple Eligible Cards, the Annual Fee Rebate will be applied to the first annual fee that is charged on an Eligible Card after the Account Open Date. If your Eligible Card has an annual fee that is greater than $150, you remain responsible for any difference after the Annual Fee Rebate is applied. All other fees and charges applicable to the Eligible Card continue to apply. Annual Fee Rebate cannot be combined with any other annual fee rebate or waiver offer. Current annual fees, rates and other features for Eligible Cards are subject to change
