The current situation has led National Bank to implement various measures to help you manage your finances.
On April 6, 2020, we decided to lower the interest rate for exceeding the limit on All-In-One lines of credit.
We are keeping this measure permanently.
If the credit limit or set sub-limit is exceeded, the applicable interest rate is now the following:
| Previous rate | Current rate |
Date of change |
| 21% | Two times the variable rate applicable to your line of credit. Consult your line of credit agreement or monthly statements to find out the variable rate on your line of credit. |
April 6, 2020 |
| Previous rate |
| Current rate |
| Date of change |
| 21% |
Two times the variable rate applicable to your line of credit. Consult your line of credit agreement or monthly statements to find out the variable rate on your line of credit. |
| April 6, 2020 |
For a $25 overlimit and a variable rate of 3.45%
Annual interest fees until April 5, 2020: $25.00 X 21% = $5.25
Annual interest fees as of April 6, 2020: $25.00 X 6.9% = $1.50
You can also review the changes by consulting the All-In-One Line of Credit Guide.
As of April 19, 2021, we will be making changes to some of our banking solutions.
At the same time, a new version of the Fee Guide - Personal Banking Solutions will be available to reflect these changes.
Please note that depending on your banking habits and solutions, it is possible that none of the changes will apply to your account.

1. The amount of points earned on grocery and restaurant purchases depends on the total gross monthly amount charged to the credit card account, regardless of the purchase category. You will earn 2 points for every dollar in eligible grocery and restaurant purchases until a total of $1,000 in gross monthly purchases is charged to the account. After that, you will earn 1.5 points per dollar in eligible grocery and restaurant purchases. The total gross monthly amount is calculated based on your monthly billing period. Grocery purchases include any purchase made at a store that primarily sells food, i.e., grocery store, delicatessen, supermarket, greengrocer or speciality food store. Ready-to-eat meal services and meal delivery services are eligible. This definition excludes purchases made at retail stores and big box stores whose core business is the sale of non-food items. Certain merchants may sell products and services that appear identical or similar to those sold by eligible merchants, or may be separate merchants located on the same premises as eligible merchants, but are classified in different categories by Mastercard. For purchases at other merchants, you will only earn regular rewards points. Restaurant purchases include purchases at a restaurant, fast food restaurant, bar, nightclub or pub. For a full list of Mastercard codes associated with eligible merchants, download the terms and conditions of the À la carte Rewards Plan®.
2. To earn 1.5 points per dollar in purchases, you will need to purchase gas or an electrical vehicle charge from a service station or from certain big box stores. Certain merchants may sell products and services that appear identical or similar to those sold by eligible merchants, or may be separate merchants located on the same premises as eligible merchants, but are classified in different categories by Mastercard. For purchases at other merchants, you will only earn regular rewards points. For a full list of Mastercard codes associated with eligible merchants, download the terms and conditions of the À la carte Rewards Plan®.
3. Recurring bill payments are defined as monthly or regular payments automatically charged by a merchant to your National Bank Platinum Mastercard credit card. Not all merchants offer recurring bill payments, and not all recurring payments are considered recurring bill payments. Certain payments therefore may not entitle you to earn more points.
4. When transactions are indicated as being included, they are included as long as the maximum number of transactions included in the package has not been reached. Any transaction over the maximum as well as any transaction or service that is not indicated in the table but for which our pricing guide sets out fees will be charged based on the applicable pricing for your account or based on the general pricing set out in the “Breakdown of Service Charges” section.
5. To earn 1.5 points per dollar in purchases, you must make your eligible purchases via the À la carte TravelTM Agency section of our À la carte RewardsTM site.
6. For example, if each month you charge $400 in groceries, $200 in gas, $100 in recurring bill payments and $150 in other purchases to your card, your $850 in purchases will earn you 1,350 points, as follows: 800 points for grocery purchases (since the total gross monthly amount is $850, i.e., under $1,000), 300 points for gas purchases, 150 points for recurring bill payments and 100 points for other purchases.
7. The device must have been purchased using your National Bank Platinum Mastercard credit card, or your phone plan must be paid via recurring payments charged to your National Bank Platinum credit card starting September 1, 2022.
8. The amount of points earned on grocery and restaurant purchases depends on the total gross monthly amount charged to the credit card account, regardless of the purchase category. You will earn 5 points for every dollar in eligible grocery and restaurant purchases until a total of $2,500 in gross monthly purchases is charged to the account. After that, you will earn 2 points per dollar in eligible grocery and restaurant purchases. The total gross monthly amount is calculated based on your monthly billing period. Grocery purchases include any purchase made at a store that primarily sells food, i.e., grocery store, delicatessen, supermarket, greengrocer or speciality food store. Ready-to-eat meal services and meal delivery services are eligible. This definition excludes purchases made at retail stores and big box stores whose core business is the sale of non-food items.
