Be aware of the increasing number of phishing emails, text messages,
false social media news and other fraudulent calls.
Neither National Bank, a public health authority, nor the government
will ask for your personal information by email, text message, or with
hyperlinks and attachments in emails.
Stay vigilant
Never click a link in an email or text message without thinking, and don’t open attachments without being sure who sent them. Never give out your Social Insurance Number, password, or other personal information over the phone, even if the person insists.
Here are some hints of a fraudulent email or text message:
To protect yourself:
National Bank will never ask for your personal information, sign-in
credentials, or account information by email or text message. The Bank
will also never insert a link for you to sign in to your online bank
directly from an email or text message.
If you ever
receive messages appearing to come from National Bank with these
features, do not click on any link in the message as this is a
fraud attempt. Immediately forward the email to telnat.securite@bnc.ca and
proceed to delete it.
The Bank may, however, insert redirection links to nbc.ca webpages in its communications.
For more information, read our Phishing article.

If you can no longer perform the usual duties of your job because of the illness, the claim may be admissible.
Note that a 60-day waiting period applies at all times, as does the exclusion of pre-existing conditions. For more details, consult your insurance policy.
Disability insurance covers situations where you would be unable to perform the usual duties of your job because of illness. Job loss is not an illness so the claim would not be admissible.
Due to the current situation, the wait time to speak to an agent is longer than usual. This is why we are reviewing our procedure for submitting a loan insurance claim.
Please refer to the Claim page for full details.
Trip interruption covers your trip expenses if you have to interrupt or extend your trip due to one or more factors predetermined by the Insurer. This list includes, among other things, the Government of Canada's recommendation in effect at the time of the trip, such as not to travel to the scheduled location once reservations have been made. Note that the Mastercard Corporate card does not provide protection for cancellations. To see the other causes covered, consult your insurance certificate.
Please note that the Platinum Business Mastercard does not offer any trip cancellation insurance. If you cancel the trip, your rewards points transaction will be reversed: your points will be returned and the cost of the trip appearing on your invoice will be charged to your Platinum account. If your service provider or insurer agrees to reimburse you, you can claim the cost of the trip appearing on your invoice that was charged to your account.
