1. Subject to credit approval by National Bank. The $567 in annual savings is provided as an example only to illustrate what a holder could save with the package. It is based on the profile of a client who has the following products: The Total® package or equivalent (The Total® is available for a $16 monthly fee to full-time post-secondary students between the ages of 18 and 24 years old; other accounts and offers are also available) and a student line of credit with a $30,000 limit authorized by the Bank with a guarantor.
Savings are calculated as follows: No monthly fee for transactions included in The Total® Account (annual savings of $192), plus an annual 1.25% rate discount for the Student Line of Credit (annual savings of $375). These savings represent the difference between what a client with the package and a client without it would pay. Certain eligibility conditions apply. Potential savings may not reflect the net savings that you will receive; this amount will vary based on your financial situation.
2. Subject to credit approval by National Bank of Canada. Certain conditions apply. Two years after the card is issued, the regular annual fee in effect will automatically be charged to the account. Offer cannot be renewed.
3. A chequing account. Some services such as the passbook and paper statement by mail are not included.
4. Subject to credit approval by National Bank. Certain conditions apply. A guarantor who satisfies National Bank's criteria may be required. The annual amount is based on your personal budget needs.
5. Grace period: No interest will be charged on purchases made during the month, provided the client pays the balance in full within twenty-one (21) days of the statement date. This grace period does not apply to cash advances or balance transfers. The minimum payment to be made to the Bank every period will be equal to 2.5% of the account balance plus any overdue amount or $10, whichever is higher (or the account balance if it is lower than $10). If the credit limit is exceeded, the minimum payment required will be 2.5% of the account balance or the amount in excess of the credit limit, whichever is higher. Account statement: A statement is sent monthly.

The regular rate for a line of credit is the prime rate* + 3%, which corresponds to 6.95% ( ${p1.tauxBase|percent:"true"} + 3%) as at October 25, 2018. As the applicable rate is based on the prime rate, it may fluctuate over time. No management costs. Account statements are produced monthly. Interest accrues as soon as an amount is drawn on the line of credit. Students must start repaying the principal when they have a full-time job or within 12 months of the end of their studies.
*The prime rate means the annual variable interest rate posted by National Bank, from time to time, and used by the Bank to determine the interest rates on the demand loans it grants in Canadian dollars in Canada. Consult the prime rate webpage to find out today's rate.
