Your HISA pays interest on your HISA balance at the Regular Interest Rate which is the Balance Level Interest Rate for the Balance Level into which your Total Relationship Balance falls. The Regular Interest Rate is the annual interest rate determined by your Total Relationship Balance and the corresponding Balance Level. As your Total Relationship Balance changes on a daily basis, the applicable Balance Level may also change, which may result in a change to the Regular Interest Rate that would apply to the HISA balance. Balance Levels are structured in such a way that, if the Total Relationship Balance exceeds or equals |

4) Interest calculation |
|
The Promotional Rate is an annualized rate and interest is calculated daily during the Promotional Rate Period only and paid monthly. During the Promotional Rate Period, the total annual interest rate applicable on your eligible HISA will be the sum of the Promotional Rate and the Regular Interest Rate (as determined by your Balance Level) calculated daily and paid monthly in two separate interest payments: (i) interest calculated at the Promotional Rate and (ii) interest calculated at the Regular Interest Rate. You will be able to see your interest payments posted to your HISA on your Online Banking or your Mobile App on the day after the 7th business day after the end of each month. |
|
|
|
For the interest calculation made on a day that is not a business day, the daily closing balance of the HISA on the previous business day will be used. If you close your HISA within 7 business days of opening it, you will forgo any Promotional Rate interest earned. HISA must be open and in good standing at the time of any interest payment. |
|
After the Promotional Rate Period ends, any balance in your HISA will earn interest at the then current posted Regular Interest Rate for the HISA (assuming your Total Relationship Balance is greater than CAD |
