Regular Interest is calculated by applying the Regular Interest Rate to your daily closing balance and is paid monthly. Refer to Current Rates Page for current Regular Interest Rates, which are subject to change.

2
A maximum of five Premium Periods at any one time, each of which can have a length of 90 days, 180 days, 270 days, or 360 days. For each Premium Period, Premium Interest is calculated daily by applying the Premium Interest Rate to each deposit, including any accumulated Regular Interest, until the end of the Premium Period. Premium Interest is paid at the end of each Premium Period, so long as no debit transaction has occurred within that Premium Period. When a debit transaction occurs, no Premium Interest is payable for that Premium Period and a new Premium Period of the same length will commence the same day. Refer to Current Rates Page for current Premium Interest Rates, which are subject to change.

Preferred and Ultimate Package account holders will receive the applicable Package boost to the Regular Interest Rate (the "Package Interest Rate Boost”). Refer to the Current Rates Page on Scotiabank.com for the Total Annual Interest Rate applicable to the Preferred Package and Ultimate Package (current Regular Interest Rate, plus Premium Period Interest Rate, plus Preferred/Ultimate Package Interest Rate Boost, as applicable), which is subject to change at any time without advance notice. It will take up to 10 business days after activating a Preferred or Ultimate Package account for the applicable Package Interest Rate Boost to apply. The applicable Package Interest Rate Boost will cease to apply effective as of the date that the Preferred/Ultimate Package account is closed. The Package Interest Rate Boost is an annual rate calculated daily on the MomentumPLUS Savings Account(s) closing balance and paid monthly.
