1.  Subject to credit approval by National Bank. The $301 in potential annual savings is provided as an example of what a holder with a typical profile could save if they had:

A banking package equivalent to The Total^®available at the monthly cost of $13 for full-time post-secondary students aged 18 to 24 inclusively and
A student line of credit with an annual current balance of $30,000
A National Bank Platinum Mastercard^®credit card

The savings is calculated as follows:

No flat monthly fee with The Total^®package (annual savings of $156)
Annual discount of 0.25% on the rate for the student line of credit (annual savings of $75 for an annual current balance of $30,000).
Savings on annual credit card fees for one of the first three years (savings of $70).

Certain eligibility conditions apply. The potential savings may not reflect the net savings that you will receive; this amount will vary depending on your financial situation and the products in which you have enrolled.

This grace period does not apply to cash advances or balance transfers. Minimum payment: If your account balance is lower than $10, you must pay the entire balance. If you reside in the province of Quebec, your minimum payment will correspond to 5% of the credit card account balance plus any overdue payment or $10, whichever amount is higher.

The regular rate for a line of credit is the prime rate* + 4%, which corresponds to 11.20% (4.95% + 4%) as at January 22, 2024. As the applicable rate is based on the prime rate, it may fluctuate over time. No management costs. Account statements are produced monthly. Interest accrues as soon as an amount is drawn on the line of credit. Students must start repaying the principal when they have a full-time job or within 12 months of the end of their studies.

*The prime rate means the annual variable interest rate posted by National Bank, from time to time, and used by the Bank to determine the interest rates on the demand loans it grants in Canadian dollars in Canada. Consult the prime rate webpage to find out today's rate.
