    Frequently asked questions about

    the Ultimate Package

    There’s no minimum balance required to open a Scotiabank Ultimate Package.


    You’re responsible for having enough money in your account to cover any fees, such as your monthly account fee. If your balance is $0 or less, you may be charged additional fees, such as a non-sufficient funds (NSF) fee. Accounts with a balance of $0 or less that remain inactive may be closed.
     

    Even though you don’t need to maintain a minimum balance, you can waive the monthly account fee by holding a minimum balance. 

     

    You’ll pay no monthly account fee by either:  


    • Holding $6,000 or more in your Ultimate Package every day for the entire month 
    • Holding a Total Relationship Balance2 of $100,000 across all eligible accounts every day for the entire month

    How we calculate your Total Relationship Balance2
     

    Your Total Relationship Balance for any day is the sum of daily closing balances in your eligible Scotiabank chequing accounts, savings accounts, guaranteed investment certificates, and mutual funds.

     

    The Ultimate Package includes 100 free personalized cheques per year as well as unlimited, free Canadian and U.S. dollar bank drafts.

    Seniors aged 60 and up will receive an automatic monthly account fee discount of up to $7 on the Ultimate Package and up to $4 on other eligible accounts. Visit the Seniors Resource Centre for more details.

    Please call us as soon as possible so we can help:

    • 1-866-267-4726 (Relay services for Deaf, deafened, and hard of hearing customers)

    You can also temporarily lock your Visa or Amex credit card, or personal line of credit Visa access card, in the Scotia app:

    1. From the app’s home screen, select your credit card or line of credit account
    2. Select Manage
    3. Select Lock or unlock card
    4. Use the toggle to lock or unlock your card

    Locking your card means all new purchases, cash advances, or other transactions, either online or in person, will be declined. If you find the card, you can unlock it from the app or use it with the correct PIN at an ABM or merchant, and then continue using it as usual.

     

    If your debit card or Mastercard is lost or stolen, please call us or visit one of our branches.

    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 www.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 www.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.
