Note on savings

To enjoy the full savings, you must keep the products and services and carry out all required transactions for a minimum of 36 months, unless otherwise indicated. If you fail to meet the conditions of the offer, your savings will be lower. Your savings will be lower if you do not order cheques or rent a safety deposit box.

If during a given month, you keep your bank account and banking package, but do not keep all of the other products and services indicated or do not carry out all of the required transactions (e.g. only one electronic bill payment per month instead of two), you will be charged National Bank's service fee for that month. The service fee will be $7.48 monthly the second year and $11.21 the third. You will still enjoy monthly savings of $7.47 during the second year and $3.74 during the third.

Finally, if you no longer hold a bank account or banking package for newcomers, you will no longer be eligible for savings.
