You likely have your own reasons to consider switching banks. For some business owners, switching is about economics – they want a better deal. A few more may switch to enjoy rewards and benefits. And others may value a richer banking relationship.

We may doubt our decision to switch suppliers. We may wonder if we’re making the right move. And that’s completely normal. But change is often necessary. A business isn’t a static organization – it’s continually evolving and shifting and morphing – requiring management to keep up with appropriate changes.

A change to your banking relationship might be the best move to support your growing business.

Handle the details.
Moving your existing banking obligations should be hassle free. Once you provide Scotiabank with the details, we will transfer your pre-authorized transactions, schedule changes for an easy transition, and send a request to close your old bank account. Leave the paperwork to us.

Save money.
The Get Growing Switch Program offers attractive rates for new business accounts. For example, you won’t pay a monthly fee for the first 3 months on an Account Plan for business. You won’t pay a monthly fee for the first 5 months on our Credit Line for business Overdraft Facility.

Partner benefits.
Everyone enjoys a little help from friends. As a business banking customer, you’ll be able to save up to 25% on accounting, bookkeeping, and tax software available from Intuit Canada. You’ll also receive 50 personalized cheques from Davis and Henderson. And, a rebate offer of $100 for Scotiabank clients opening a new payment processing account with Chase Paymentech.

Other rewards.
Love free movies? Enjoy a night out when you switch your business account to Scotiabank. You’ll get 2,000 points on a SCENE® Card – enough for 2 movie tickets at any Cineplex Entertainment theatre.
