    Each lender decides which credit score range it considers a good or poor credit risk. Typically, the higher the score the better. If you’re looking to improve your credit score, TransUnion recommends the following:

    • Pay your bills on time: Late payments, collections, and bankruptcies have a negative effect on your credit score.
    • Keep your account balances below 35% of your available credit. For example, if you have a credit card with a $1,000 limit, try to keep the outstanding balance below $350.
    • Check your credit report on a regular basis to make sure the information is accurate. If you’re registered for TransUnion Credit Services through Scotiabank, you can check your credit report by signing in to your account online or using the mobile banking app.

    Visit our Digital Banking Guide to see a demo of how to check your credit score, and learn more about how to improve it on our Advice+ hub.

    You will earn 1% cash back on net purchases made with your eligible Scotia Momentum Mastercard credit card at gas stations, grocery stores and drug stores as classified by Mastercard (Merchant Codes: 5411, 5541, 5542 & 5912). Some merchants may sell these products/services or are separate merchants who are located on the premises of these merchants, but are classified by Mastercard in another manner, in which case this added benefit would not apply. Recurring payments are defined as payments made on a monthly or regular basis automatically billed by the merchant to your Card. Recurring payments are typically telecommunication, insurance, membership, subscriptions, etc. Not all merchants offer recurring payments. (Please check with your merchant to see if they offer recurring payments on Mastercard cards.) You will earn 0.5% cash back on all other eligible purchases made with your Scotia Momentum Mastercard credit card. Cash Advances (including Balance Transfers, Scotia Credit Card Cheques or Cash-Like Transactions), returns, refunds or other similar credits, fees, interest charges or service/transaction charges do not qualify for cash back. See your Scotia Momentum Mastercard Cash Back Program Terms and Conditions for full details.

    Offer Description and Conditions: The Introductory 7.99% Interest Rate applies only to eligible purchases subject to the conditions below (the “Offer”). This introductory rate applies when the new Scotia Momentum Mastercard credit card account (“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, purchase balances at the promotional rate of 7.99% (including any unpaid balances) will increase to the preferred interest rate for purchases (currently 20.99%). There is no promotional low rate fee on purchases made during the Promotional Period. Eligible purchases include purchases (less any refunds, returns or other similar credits) but do not include payments, cash advances (including balance transfers and cash-like transactions), interest, fees or other charges. All other terms and conditions of the Program Terms continue to apply during the Offer period. Offer may be changed, cancelled or extended at any time without notice and cannot be combined with any other offers.  

     

    Eligibility and Exclusions: Individuals who are currently or were previously primary or secondary cardholders of a Scotiabank personal credit card in the past 2 years, including those that switch from an existing Scotiabank personal credit card, as well as employees of Scotiabank, are not eligible for the Offer. Subject to the above exclusions, Scotiabank business credit cardholders are also eligible for the Offer. 
     

    How we apply payments: Your payment cannot be applied to the balance(s) of your choice. For Quebec residents: In general, if you have different interest rate(s) that apply to your Account, we apply payments to transactions based on the interest rate(s) that applies to those transactions on your Account (from highest to lowest rates). For non-Quebec residents: 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. 
     

    Rates and Fees: There is currently no annual fee for the primary card and no fee for each additional card .(including those issued to co-borrowers and supplementary cardholders). The current preferred annual interest rates for the Account are: 20.99% on purchases and 22.99% on cash advances (including balance transfers and cash-like transactions). All rates, fees, features and benefits are outlined in the Application Disclosure Statement and are subject to change.
