Primary Chequing Account

The Primary Chequing account is ideal for day-to-day banking needs like withdrawals, bill payments, transfers, account history inquiries and more.

Your Primary Chequing account is linked to an Everyday Banking Plan. You can save money by choosing the Banking Plan that best fits your needs. If you maintain the minimum monthly balance for your Plan, you pay no monthly fee. In addition, you can add multiple accounts to your Banking Plan¹.
