National Bank Business Mastercard vs Scotia Momentum® for business No Fee Visa* Card

¹Offer Description and Conditions: The 10% Cash Back Offer (the “Offer”) applies only to new Scotia Momentum® for business No Fee Visa* Card accounts (“Accounts”) that are opened, and any additional cards on the Account issued, between August 17, 2026 and February 28, 2027 (regardless of the date you apply for the Account) subject to the conditions below.

You will earn 10% cash back on the first $1,500 in eligible purchases you spend on your new Account within the first 3 months of the Account open date (the “Promotional Period”). Eligible purchases include purchases (less any refunds, returns or other similar credits) but do not include cash advances (including balance transfers and cash-like transactions), interest, fees or other charges or payments.

After the Promotional Period, you will earn regular cash back on eligible purchases at the regular cash back rate (the “Regular Cash Back Program Rate”) as described in the Scotia Momentum No fee Visa* Cash Back Program Terms and Conditions (the “Program Terms”). The 10% cash back rate for any category is made up of the sum of: (i) the Regular Cash Back Program Rate (variable by category as set out under the Program Terms); and (ii) a bonus rate that will vary depending on the Cash Back Program Rate (the “Cash Back Top Up Rate”). 

Cash back earned under this Offer will be credited to your Account in 2 installments so long as your Account is open and in good standing at time of payout of each:

1. Bonus Cash Back: The amount earned under the Cash Back Top Up Rate will be credited to your Account within approximately 7 months from the Account open date; and
2. Regular Cash Back: The amount earned under your Regular Cash Back Program Rate will be credited to your Account as described in  the Program Terms.

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.

EXAMPLE: If the Regular Cash Back Program Rate for gas purchases is 1% then the Cash Back Top Up Rate will be 9% for that category so that you will earn a total of 10% on the amount of all eligible everyday purchases in that category during the Promotional Period up to a total of $1,500 in purchases.

If you make $1,500 in eligible everyday purchases in your first 3 months in the 1% Cash Back category, your cash back earnings will be credited to your Account as follows:

1. the Cash Back Top Up Rate earnings of $135 (9% x $1,500) will be applied to your Account within approximately 7 months from the Account open date if you have met the Cash Back Bonus conditions, and
2. the regular Cash Back Program Rate earnings of $15 (1% x $1,500), will be applied to your Account in accordance with the Program Terms.

All other terms and conditions of the Program Terms continue to apply during and after the Promotional Period. Offer may be changed, cancelled or extended at any time without notice and cannot be combined with any other offers.
