Overview

Advantage Account is a high-interest, full-access, low fee chequing account that can be used by clients as their primary bank account or as a secondary investment account. This account combines the liquidity of a traditional chequing account with the interest of a short-term GIC or money market fund. Advantage Account’s features and benefits are unrivalled in the marketplace.

Note: The variable annual interest rate is applied to all funds in the account. Interest is calculated daily on the total daily balance and paid monthly. Rate is subject to change.
