The Qualifying Amount will be determined separately for each of the two periods (May 2, 2026, to October 31, 2026, and November 1, 2026, to April 30, 2027).

(i) open and enroll in this offer with one or more new Scotia iTRADE account(s) (each, a “New Account”) by April 3, 2026 and fund the New Account(s) by May 1, 2026  with at least the equivalent of  CAD $2,500 with net new value in cash or/and assets (cheque deposit, electronic funds transfer or transfer of assets)  (“Qualifying Amount”) from an account held at a financial institution outside of the Scotiabank Group of Companies, as defined above (“External Transfer-in”) and

(ii) then maintain the Qualifying Amount in assets that you deposited in your New Account(s) (subject to the Qualifying Amount calculation condition) during the entire period between May 2, 2026  and April 30, 2027,  then an amount equal to 1% of the Qualifying Amount (subject to the Qualifying Amount calculation condition) will be deposited directly into your applicable account in two installments : (a) if the Qualifying Amount in assets is held in the New Account(s) during the entire period between May 2, 2026 and October 31, 2026, the first installment in the amount of 0.5% of the Qualifying Amount will be deposited directly in your applicable account by November 30, 2026; and (b) if the Qualifying Amount in assets is held in the New Account(s) during the entire period between November 1, 2026 and April 30, 2027, the second installment in the amount of 0.5% of the Qualifying Amount will be deposited directly in your applicable account by May 30, 2027 (up to a maximum of CAD $10,000 for the entire period between May 2, 2026 and April 30, 2027)

The Qualifying Amount will be determined separately for each of the two periods (May 2, 2026, to October 31, 2026, and November 1, 2026, to April 30, 2027)

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 $10,000 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 November 17, 2025, and April 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 May 1, 2026, and then withdraws $40,000 during the Qualifying Period from any Scotia iTRADE accounts during the period between May 2, 2026, and October 31, 2026.

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 November 17, 2025, and April 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 second term of Qualifying Period (November 1, 2026 – April 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 the period November 1, 2026, and April 30, 2027, in Scotiabank Transfers-out and transfers out $20,000 in the period November 1, 2026, and April 30, 2027, in External Transfer-out during the Qualifying Period November 17, 2025, and April 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.
