Overdraft interest, not covered by a Creditline line of credit or a Personaline line of credit, accrues immediately and will be calculated and payable at month end.
7Interest is calculated on closing daily balance in an Account and paid at month end. The interest is an annual interest rate. Interest is earned in the currency of the account. View the current rates here or in-branch for more information.

This example compares a 5-year investment of $10,000 in a savings account offering 0.1% APR with a $10,000 in a 5-year term deposit offering 1.3% APR , assuming no withdrawals or new contributions. Actual interest rates and earnings may vary.
