Hold Policy

When you make a deposit, a fixed hold period may apply to allow time for the deposit to clear before the funds are available to you. For more information about hold periods on deposits, please view the Equitable Bank Hold Funds Policy.

Interest Calculations

Interest begins to accrue on every dollar the day your account becomes active. Interest is calculated daily on the total closing balance and at the rates per annum, as offered. Interest is paid monthly.

Notice of Fee Changes

If a fee is increased or a new fee is introduced, we will provide notice of any such change in writing to you through electronic means, which may include posting a notice on the Message Centre accessible through EQ Bank online or mobile banking applications, on our Website, or by any other method allowed by law as determined by us, at least 60 days before the change comes into effect.
