Scotiabank Passport® Visa Infinite Business* CardBusiness Points Calculator

Earn up to 40,000 bonus Scene+ points [1]

Our Take

The standout feature is simple: no foreign transaction fees. For any business that regularly pays suppliers abroad, books international travel, or has USD expenses, this saves 2.5% on every foreign purchase — savings that add up fast. On top of that, you earn a flat 1.5 Scene+ points per dollar on everything with no caps or categories. The $199 fee is higher than average, but you get six airport lounge visits per year, solid travel insurance, and a 40,000-point welcome bonus. If your business spending is mostly domestic and you don’t travel, the fee is hard to justify. But for internationally active businesses, this is one of the best options in Canada.

    Actual offers, savings and rewards earned will depend on individual card usage and eligibility for applicable offers. Conditions apply.


    1Offer Description and Conditions: The 40,000 Bonus Scene+ Points Offer (the “Offer”) applies only to new Scotiabank Passport Visa Infinite Business credit card accounts (“Account”) opened between May 1, 2026, and October 31, 2026 (regardless of the date you apply for the Card), and is subject to the conditions below.

     

    To be eligible for 30,000 bonus Scene+ points (the “30,000 Point Bonus”), you must have at least $5,000 in eligible purchases posted to your new Account in the first 3 months of the Account open date.  To qualify for an additional 10,000 bonus Scene+ points (the “10,000 Point Bonus”), you must have at least $60,000 in eligible purchases posted to your new Account in the first year (12 months) of Account open date. Eligible purchases include purchases (less any refunds, returns or other similar credits) but do not include payments, cash advances (including balance transfers or cash-like transactions), interest, fees, or other charges.  

     

    Point Bonus Fulfilment: The applicable point Bonus(es) will be credited within approximately 8 weeks after the qualifying amount in eligible purchases (i.e., $5,000 or $60,000) has been posted to the Account (within the first 3 months for the 30,000 Point Bonus or within the first 12 months for the 10,000 Point Bonus) provided the Account is open and in good standing. For Joint Accounts with a Primary Borrower and Co-borrower, the applicable point Bonus will be credited as follows: (i) the 30,000 Point Bonus and 10,000 Point Bonus will be credited to the Scene+ account linked to the Account of the borrower that completed the last transaction to meet the qualifying amount of eligible purchases (i.e., $5,000 or $60,000) in the appropriate time frame (i.e., first 3 months or first 12 months). If a supplementary cardholder completes the last qualifying transaction to meet the qualifying amount of eligible purchases for the 30,000 Point Bonus or the 10,000 Point Bonus, the applicable point Bonus will be credited to the Primary Borrower’s Scene+ account linked to the Account. Points can be transferred between Primary and Co-Borrower or Supplementary Cardholder’s Scene+ accounts by contacting Scene+.  The Account is considered in good standing if it is not past due or over limit and the Cardholder(s) is not in breach of the Revolving Credit Agreement that applies to the Account.   All other terms and conditions of the Scene+ Program continue to apply during the Offer period.  Offer may be changed, cancelled, or extended without notice at any time and cannot be combined with any other offers.

     

    Offer Eligibility and Exclusions: Individuals who are currently or were previously primary or secondary cardholders of a Scotiabank business credit card in the past 2 years, including those that switch from an existing Scotiabank business credit card, are not eligible for the Offer. Subject to the above exclusions, Scotiabank personal credit cardholders are also eligible for the Offer.  By accepting this Offer you confirm you meet all Offer requirements. We reserve the right to revoke this Offer at any time if we determine you do not meet the Offer eligibility requirements, including after you have accepted the Offer or been approved for the Account.

     

    Rates and Fees: The current annual fee is $199 for the primary card, $0 for the first additional card and $50 for each additional card thereafter (including those issued to co-borrowers and supplementary cardholders).

     

    The current preferred annual interest rates for the Account are: 20.99% on purchases and 22.99% on cash advances (including balance transfers and cash-like transactions). All rates, fees, features, and benefits are outlined in the Welcome Kit you will receive if approved
    and are subject to change. 


    2 You will earn 1.5 Scene+ points per $1 on eligible business purchases. Points are not awarded for Cash Advances (including Balance Transfers and Cash-Like Transactions), returns, refunds or other similar credits, card payments, fees, interest charges or other charges.

    Any unused Scene+ points will be subject to the cancellation or expiration terms that apply to them under the Scene+ program. See the Scene+ program terms at www.sceneplus.ca for more information.


    3 Scotiabank will not charge you Foreign Transaction Fees on foreign currency transactions including purchases, only the exchange rate applies. The term “Foreign Transaction Fees” is a substitute for “Foreign Currency Conversion” as described in the disclosure section of the Welcome Kit for this Card.  This fee relates to the mark-up that is typically charged by credit card issuers in addition to the exchange rate. See the disclosure section of this Card’s Welcome Kit or download it by visiting https://www.scotiabank.com/welcomekits for full details. Rates and fees subject to change.


    4Get up to 7 cents per litre in instant fuel discounts for a limited time and earn up to 3 cents per litre in Scene+ Points Value with an eligible Scotiabank payment card linked to a Shell Go+ Account:

    • Instant 3 cents per Litre Discount on Fuel Purchases (All Grades): Receive an instant 3 cents per litre discount on purchases of fuel (all grades) (“Fuel Purchases (All Grades)”) at participating Shell locations in Canada when you use any eligible Scotiabank debit card or credit card linked to a Shell Go+ Account, up to a maximum of 1,000 litres per month per Scotiabank debit card and per Scotiabank credit card account. This total limit resets at the start of each new month per payment card account. This discount is subject to the Scotiabank Fuel Benefit Terms and Conditions.

     

    • Instant 4 cents per Litre Discount on Premium Fuel: Between May 26, 2026 and June 1, 2027 (“Promotional Period”), receive an instant 4 cents per litre discount on purchases of V-Power®* gasoline, or V-Power®* diesel (“Premium Fuel Purchases”) at participating Shell locations in Canada when you use any eligible Scotiabank credit card that earns Scene+ points linked to a Shell Go+ Account, up to a maximum of 1,000 litres per month per credit card account. This total limit resets at the start of each new month per credit card account. This promotional offer, including the Promotional Period, may be changed, extended, or withdrawn at any time without notice. These promotional offer terms are in addition to the Scotiabank Fuel Benefit Terms and Conditions. 

     

    • Earn up to 3 cents per Litre in Scene+ Points Value (Equivalent) on Fuel Purchases: Each time you use your linked Scotiabank credit card that earns Scene+ points on Fuel Purchases (All Grades) at participating Shell locations in Canada, you will earn at least 1 Scene+ point per $1 spent.  Plus, as a Scene+ Member you will also automatically earn 1 Scene+ point for each litre in Fuel Purchases (All Grades), and as a Shell Go+ member, automatically earn 1 additional Scene+ point for each litre in Premium Fuel Purchases, made with your linked Scotiabank credit card. This means that for every litre in fuel purchased with your linked credit card, you can earn the equivalent of up to 3 cents of redeemable Scene+ Points Value based on a redemption value of $10 for every 1,000 Scene+ points redeemed for fuel purchases at participating Shell locations.  Actual value may be lower depending on how you choose to redeem your Scene+ points. Earn and redemption limits may apply. See the Scene+ Program Terms and Conditions available at sceneplus.ca/terms-and-conditions for full details including redemption options and additional terms.

     

    Note: Highest value of 10 cents per litre assumes a Premium Fuel Purchase made with a Scotiabank Passport Visa Infinite Business card linked to a Shell Go+ Account. Actual value may be lower depending on whether or not the credit card is linked, fuel grade purchased, cost of fuel at time of purchase, whether or not you are a Scene+ member, and how you choose to redeem your Scene+ points.
