Get to know your new Chequing Account

To help you get the most out of your Account, we’ve put together this handy page.

Your Client Card is on its way

You can expect your Client Card to arrive within a week. For security, we’ll send your Card PIN separately, and you should get it a few days after you receive your Card.

How to activate your new Client Card?

Log in and click on your Chequing Account. Click the 'Manage Card' button (if you’re on the Mobile Banking app, you may need to tap 'More Actions' first). From there, click on the 'Activate Card' button and follow the prompts.
