Chequing Accounts and Packages

National Bank describes a chequing account offer running from May 7 through November 3, 2026. A new primary account holder must open a first chequing account with The Connected or The Total package, enrol in online banking, complete 20 eligible debit-card purchases or online bill payments within 120 days, and receive three automatic deposits of at least $100 on the offer's 60-, 90- and 120-day schedule. Meeting those requirements earns the $300 base amount.

The client must not hold, or have held in the previous 36 months, any of the listed National Bank transaction, savings, line-of-credit or All-In-One accounts. The eligible package must remain in place for at least 120 days. Employees of National Bank, CWB or their subsidiaries, and their spouses, are excluded.

Three $100 additions can raise the total to $600. The client can make 20 purchases or cash advances on a newly approved eligible National Bank credit card within 120 days; arrange recurring payments for a National Bank mortgage from the new account within 120 days; and open a High Interest Savings Account within 15 days, deposit at least $5,000, and continuously maintain that balance through day 120. The credit-card and savings additions each have a separate 36-month no-prior-product test.

Payment is due by the end of the sixth month after account opening. The account, and any qualifying new credit card, must remain open for 12 months or National Bank can require a prorated repayment. The offer cannot be combined with another National Bank chequing-account cashback promotion, but it may be combined with eligible credit-card, mortgage, insurance or investment promotions.
