1. Subject to credit approval by National Bank. The offer is
available to holders of a National Bank Platinum credit card. The $567
in annual savings is provided as an example only to illustrate what a
holder could save with the offer. 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 offer 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. Minimum payment: If your
account balance is lower than $10, you must pay the entire balance. If
you reside in the province of Quebec, your minimum payment will
correspond to 5% of the credit card account balance plus any overdue
payment or $10, whichever amount is higher. If you reside outside of
Quebec, your minimum payment represents 2.5% of the credit card
account balance plus any overdue payment or $10, whichever amount is
higher. Account statement: A statement is sent monthly.

*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.
