Scotia Momentum®  Visa* Card (for students)

Offer Description and Conditions: The Introductory 2.99% Balance Transfer Rate Offer (the “Offer”) applies only to eligible cash advances (including balance transfers and cash-like transactions) (collectively “Cash Advances”) subject to the conditions below. This introductory rate applies if the new Account is opened between October 31, 2025 and October 31, 2026(regardless of the date you apply for the Account) and will continue for 6 months from date of Account opening (the “Promotional Period”). After the Promotional Period, the promotional 2.99% interest rate on any Cash Advances (including any amount of those Cash Advances that remain unpaid after the Promotional Period ends) will increase to the preferred interest rate on Cash Advances (currently 22.99%). There is no balance transfer fee applicable to Cash Advances made during the Promotional Period.

This Offer is subject to any Cash Advance limits on your Account. This Offer is also subject to the approved credit limit that is being offered to you as of the date of this Offer.  This means if a balance transfer amount(s) requested exceeds your approved credit limit as of the date this Offer was provided to you, it may not be processed. This Offer cannot be used for any Scotiabank account including to transfer a balance from another Scotiabank account, or to make a payment or deposit to another Scotiabank account. Offer may be changed, cancelled or extended at any time without notice and cannot be combined with any other offers. 

Losing your promotional rate: If we don’t receive  the minimum payment on your Account by the payment due date on your statement, two consecutive times,  you will lose the benefit of this promotional rate Offer and the interest rates that apply on any unpaid balance will increase to the standard annual interest rates that apply to your Account (currently 25.99% on purchases and 27.99% on Cash Advances). All other terms and conditions of the Program Terms continue to apply during the Offer period. 

How we apply payments: Your payment cannot be applied to the balance(s) of your choice. In general, if you make a payment that exceeds the minimum payment on your statement, we will apply your payment on a proportionate basis among each group of billed charges on your Account. We group charges based on the interest rate that applies to the group of charges. See your credit card agreement for more information about how we apply payments to your Account.

By accepting this Offer you confirm you meet all Offer eligibility requirements. We reserve the right to revoke this Offer at any time if we determine you do not meet the Offer eligibility requirements, including after you have accepted the Offer or been approved for the Account.

2% Cash Back Earn Rate: You will earn 2% Cash Back on eligible Purchases on your Account at Grocery, Gas Stations, Electric Vehicle Charging (EV), Transit, Rideshare, Food Delivery, Drugstores and Pharmacies, and on Recurring Bill Payments. 2% Cash Back applies at merchants which are classified in the Visa Inc. (Visa) network as Grocery Stores & Supermarkets, Drug Stores & Pharmacies, Gas Stations (with or without ancillary services), Automated Fuel Dispensers, EV charging stations, Transit, Rideshare, Recurring Bill Payments and Food Delivery (includes transactions made via eligible food delivery services selected by Scotiabank which is subject to change.), up to an annual spend limit of $25,000 (Merchant Category Codes (“MCC”): 5411, 5541, 5542, 5552, 5912, 4111, 4112, 4121, 4131, 4789). Recurring Bill Payments are defined as payments made on a monthly or regular basis automatically billed by the merchant to your Account. Recurring Bill Payments typically include telecommunication, insurance, membership, and subscription-based purchases. Not all merchants offer recurring bill payments on credit cards; please check with your merchant. 

1% Cash Back Earn Rate: You will earn 1% Cash Back (the “Regular Earn Rate”) on eligible Purchases made on your Account after you have reached the annual spend limit of $25,000 on the 2% earn rate categories (the “Accelerated Earn Rate”) and on all other eligible Purchases made with the Account that are not within the Accelerated Earn Rate categories.

Annual Spend Limits: There is an annual limit on the Cash Back you can earn at the Accelerated Earn Rate, as outlined in the Cash Back Program Terms (https://www.scotiabank.com/terms/momentum). This limit is based on Purchases within the Accelerated Earn Rate categories posted to your Account annually, calculated from your statement period, starting from the statement period of the month your Account was opened (“Account Opening Date”). The annual spend limit resets every 12 months from the statement period of the month of your Account Opening Date. Once you reach the annual spend limit for the Accelerated Earn Rate, you will then only earn Cash Back at the Regular Earn Rate on all eligible Purchases made on your Account until the annual spend limit resets.
