Our review

Right now, when you open a new Scotiabank Essential Package, you can earn up to $500 in bonuses!

To get a $400 bonus, all you’d have to do is set up two pre-authorized debits (like Hydro-Quebec and Bell, for example) of at least $50 for 6 consecutive months, and make one bill payment of at least $50 (like your mobile phone provider).

Then you can get a $100 bonus by also opening a new RRSP, TFSA or FHSA.

Scotiabank’s Essential Package has the following key features:

  • Unlimited Interac Debit and Transfer transactions
  • First-year annual fee waiver on select credit cards (up to $150)
  • Preferred rates on certain GICs
  • One free non-Scotiabank ATM withdrawal per month in Canada
