Every feature of the Tangerine Chequing Account is designed to save you money and give you more control over your day-to-day banking.

No Monthly Fees

Unlike big banks, we never charge a monthly account fee — not $5, not $16, not ever. No minimum balance required to waive anything.

3,500+ Free ABMs

Access cash for free at over 3,500 ABMs across Canada in the Scotiabank network. No surcharges, no per-use fees — just your money, whenever you need it.

Zero Liability Protection

Shop with confidence online and in-store. Interac & Visa* Debit Zero Liability covers 100% of unauthorized purchases — you’re never responsible for fraud on your account.

Unlimited Transactions

Debit purchases, bill payments, pre-authorized debits, and withdrawals — make as many as you need each month without worrying about transaction limits or per-item charges.

24/7 Online & Mobile Banking

Your account never sleeps. Check balances, pay bills, send money, and deposit cheques by photo — from your phone or computer — any hour of any day.

Direct Deposit

Your paycheque works harder here.

When you set up direct deposit into your Tangerine Chequing Account, your money is available the moment it lands — with no holds and no waiting periods on payroll deposits. Pre-authorized payments are equally seamless, so your bills get handled automatically while you focus on what matters.

Instant Access

Payroll deposits are available immediately — no next-day delays on employer direct deposits.

Pre-Authorized Payments

Set up recurring bill payments and subscriptions once — they run automatically from your account.

Automated Savings Rules

Every time a deposit lands, automatically move a portion to your Tangerine Savings Account.

Instant Deposit Alerts

Get an SMS or push notification the second your paycheque hits — so you always know where you stand.
