What’s happening?

As of 1 November we’ll be making some changes to the Business Transaction Account (BTA) by offering a $0 Monthly Account Fee (MAF) option and the ability for customers to move between BTA options when they like depending on their needs.

In addition, there will be an increase to assisted transaction fees to $3. 

Assisted transactions include:

  • Over the counter deposits and withdrawals
  • Cash deposits made via the Quick Deposit Box or QuickCash envelope banking
  • Cheque transactions
  • Over the phone withdrawals or transfers

Existing Business Transaction Account holders will have the option to choose a $0 MAF or remain on the $10 MAF option, where they will continue to have 20 assisted transactions included.
