How do I activate my account for Scotiabank online and mobile banking?

If you haven’t yet activated your account for online and mobile banking, visit the Activate Now page of our website to get started.

You’ll need your ScotiaCard, credit card, or account number for your line of credit, investment, loan, or mortgage. If you have both a ScotiaCard debit card and a credit card/account number, please use your ScotiaCard number to register.
