Scotiabank Value®  Visa* Card (for students)  

For example, on an outstanding balance of $5,000 with an annual interest rate of 13.99% and assuming a constant balance (i.e., no other transactions posted) during a 12 month period, you can save $800 in interest compared to a credit card with an annual interest rate of 29.99% ($1,499.50 interest for 12 months at 29.99% compared to $699.50 interest for 12 months at 13.99%). Actual interest savings will depend on various factors including the outstanding balance and the amounts, timing and application of any payments made, the nature of the transactions and the interest rate of the credit card being compared. Interest rate comparison effective June 19, 2024 and subject to change.

This introductory rate applies if the new Account is opened by January 2, 2025 and will continue for 10 months from date of Account opening (the “Promotional Period”). After the Promotional Period, the promotional 0% interest rate on any Cash Advances (including any amount of those Cash Advances that remain unpaid after the Promotional Period ends) will increase to the preferred interest rate on Cash Advances (currently 13.99%).

How We Apply Payments: In general, if you make a payment that exceeds the minimum payment on your statement, we will apply your payment on a proportionate basis among each group of billed charges on your Account.
