The cash reward will be deposited into your non-registered account, and if you don’t have non-registered accounts then into your registered account.

The combined cash incentive (tiered cash offer plus 1% cash offer) for any client cannot exceed $6,000 CAD.

Qualifying Amount calculation condition for this 1% cash back offer (unless this offer is combined with the tiered cash offer, in which case the Combined Qualifying Amount calculation condition will apply, as described below): Qualification will be based on the combined net new assets in all eligible accounts held by a client that were transferred in External Transfers-in. If you withdraw or transfer out assets from any of your Scotia iTRADE accounts at any time during the period between  June 1, 2026 and July 30, 2027(“Qualifying Period”), the amounts of such assets will be subtracted from the value of your Qualifying Amount for the purposes of determining your entitlement for the specific amount of cash reward.

Example:

Client deposits $100,000 in External Transfers-in before September 30, 2026 and then withdraws $40,000 during the Qualifying Period from any Scotia iTRADE accounts during the period between October 1, 2026 and July 30, 2027.

Combined Qualifying Amount calculation condition for combined tiered cash offer and 1% cash back offer: 

a. Qualification will be based on the combined net new assets in all eligible accounts held by a client transferred in from accounts held outside of Scotia iTRADE. If you withdraw or transfer out assets from any of your Scotia iTRADE accounts at any time during the period between June 1, 2026 and July 30, 2027 (“Qualifying Period”), the amounts of such assets will be subtracted from the value of your Qualifying Amount for the purposes of determining your entitlement for the specific tier/amount of cash reward.

Example:

Client transfers in $50,000 in External Transfers-in, then transfers in $40,000 in Scotiabank Transfers-in.

b. The combined amounts transferred out during the Qualifying Period to any accounts held outside of Scotia iTRADE but within the Scotiabank Group of Companies ("Scotiabank Transfers-out") will be subtracted from the combined net new assets of Scotiabank Transfers-in for the purposes of calculating the Qualifying Amount.

Example:

Client transfers in $50,000 in External Transfers-in and $50,000 in Scotiabank Transfers-in and then transfers out $10,000 in Scotiabank Transfers-out during the Qualifying Period (June 1, 2026 – July 30, 2027). 

c. The combined amounts transferred out during the Qualifying Period to any accounts held with any financial institutions outside of the Scotiabank Group of Companies ("External Transfers-out”) will be subtracted from the combined net new assets of External Transfers-in for the purposes of calculating the Qualifying Amount.

Example:

Client transfers in $50,000 in External Transfers-in and $40,000 in Scotiabank Transfers-in and then transfers out $30,000 in Scotiabank Transfers-out and transfers out $20,000 in External Transfer-out during the Qualifying Period June 1, 2026 and July 30, 2027. 

d. If the combined amount of External Transfers-out is greater than the combined amount of External Transfers-in, then the difference will be subtracted from the combined amount of Scotiabank Transfers-in for the purposes of calculating the Qualifying Amount. 

e. If the combined amount of Scotiabank Transfers-out is greater than the combined amount of Scotiabank Transfers-in, then the difference will be subtracted from the combined amount of External Transfers-in for the purposes of calculating the Qualifying Amount. 

Example:

Client transfers in $100,000 in External Transfers-in and $40,000 in Scotiabank Transfers-in and then transfers out $50,000 in Scotiabank Transfers-out. 

f. If it is unclear whether the transfer out is a Scotiabank Transfer-out or an External Transfer-out (“Neutral Transfer-out"), the amount of such Neutral Transfer-out will first be subtracted from the amount of combined Scotiabank Transfers-in, and if the amount of such Neutral Transfer-out is greater than the amount of combined Scotiabank Transfers-in, the difference will be subtracted from the amount of combined External Transfers-in for the purposes of calculating the Qualifying Amount.
