Our review

Suits: A full-service bank listing when the apply link matches the product you actually want.

What stands out

  • Schedule I bank
  • Consumer and business offers
  • Branch network

Scotiabank (including SMB listings) appears in Canada only where we have an attributed apply link. Filter personal loans, business credit or cards.

Supervision: OSFI and the FCAC. Not a promise of approval.

Pros

  • A licensed bank, with each product family priced on its own terms.
  • More than one product family can appear when each has a live deal.
  • Written offer is what matters, not a national average.

Cons

  • Brand recognition is not a score for cost.
  • Business and personal products have different underwriting.
