Important updates effective November 1, 2026 
We want to let you know about changes that will take effect on November 1, 2026. These updates affect certain business accounts, the Interac e-Transfer® limit on the No-Fee Account and some service fees.  

Most members will see little or no impact; however, we believe it's important to provide advance notice and clear information about any changes that may affect you. 

Business account changes 
Business Basic, Business 30 and Business 60 Accounts 
Beginning November 1, members with a Business Basic, Business 30, or Business 60 Account will see the service fees for transactions in excess of the included transaction volume increase from $1.00 to $1.25 per transaction. This fee only applies when the number of transactions exceeds the monthly transaction limit included within the account package. 

Business 120 and Business 240 Accounts 
Also beginning November 1, members with a Business 120 or Business 240 Account will be transitioned to our Business Unlimited Account. 

The Business Unlimited Account was introduced in September and includes unlimited transactions and free Interac e-Transfers® for a monthly fee of $85.00. The Business Unlimited Account provides a more competitive option and greater value for businesses with higher transaction activity. Interested in this new account? Contact us today at 1-800-667-7477. 

No-Fee Chequing Account – Interac e-Transfer® limit changes 
Beginning November 1, No-Fee Chequing Accounts will include up to 20 free outgoing Interac e-Transfers per month. 

Members who send more than 20 Interac e-Transfers in a month will be charged $1.50 for each additional outgoing Interac e-Transfer.

Frequently asked questions

Business account changes

Beginning November 1, members with a Business 120 or Business 240 Account will be moved to our new Business Unlimited Account. 

The Business Unlimited Account offers unlimited transactions and is designed to provide greater value for businesses with higher transaction activity. The Business Unlimited account is a more competitive offering and a better overall offer for many of our business members. 

The Business Unlimited Account includes unlimited transactions and free Interac e-Transfers® for a monthly fee of $85.00, helping businesses avoid additional transaction charges and providing greater flexibility as their banking needs grow. For many businesses, it offers a more competitive option than our previous business account packages. 

The monthly fee for the Business Unlimited Account is $85.00. Business 120 members will see a small increase in their monthly fee, while Business 240 members will see a decrease. All members transitioned to Business Unlimited will benefit from unlimited transactions and free Interac e-Transfers. 

Effective September 14, Business 120 and Business 240 Accounts are no longer available for new account openings. These accounts have been replaced by our Business Unlimited Account, which offers unlimited transactions for a monthly fee. 

Your account will continue to operate as normal. On November 1, your Business 120 or Business 240 Account will be transitioned to the Business Unlimited Account with no action required by you.   

No-Fee Account outgoing Interac e-Transfer® changes

Beginning November 1, No-Fee Accounts will include up to 20 free outgoing Interac e-Transfers each month. 

Yes. The first 20 outgoing Interac e-Transfers you send each month will continue to be included at no cost. 

The first 20 outgoing Interac e-Transfers you send each month will be included at no cost. After you've reached that limit, each additional outgoing Interac e-Transfer will be charged $1.50. 

Most members send fewer than 20 Interac e-Transfers each month. This change helps us continue offering free e-Transfers for typical use while supporting the long-term sustainability of the No-Fee Account. 

No. This change only applies to outgoing Interac e-Transfers that you send. There are no changes to incoming Interac e-Transfers that you receive. 

You can review your account activity through digital banking to see the number of Interac e-Transfers you've sent during the month. 

Service fee changes

We periodically review our fees to help ensure they continue to reflect the cost of providing services to our members. The fees being updated are generally associated with transactions or services that are used less frequently and often involve additional processing costs.
