Q: How many days will my reports remain available online?

A: 90 days of history is available on the ‘Available Documents’ page.

Q: Where do I find my ‘User ID’ and ‘Password’ to login to the Scotia Remit Portal?

A: If you are a new Scotia Bill Payment merchant, your User ID and Password information was provided to you on the Welcome / Service Confirmation letter faxed from the Scotiabank Electronic Bill Payment department. If you are an existing merchant that previously received your Scotiabank remittance reports by fax or email, please review the Getting Started Guide for instructions on how to derive your User ID and Password from your current report.
