What you need to know

Chequing account holders will move to the Coast Capital Unlimited Chequing Account which offers unlimited day-to-day transactions1 including free e-Transfers®, plus free access to ID Assist® — Online identity theft protection (value $96/year). 

  • All your pre-authorized payments and direct deposits such as payroll will automatically be directed to your Coast Capital accounts(s). There is no action you need to take to reset these. Your motusbank transit number will continue to be linked to your accounts.

  • Any cheques written on your motusbank account prior to migration can still be cashed after migration and the funds will be drawn on your Coast Capital account

  • Coast Capital’s Hold Funds Policy applies to funds deposited into your account. The terms of Coast Capital’s Hold Funds Policy are materially identical to motubank’s Hold Funds Policy other than that Coast Capital’s Policy does not apply an 8 business day hold on accounts opened for 90 days or less.

  • Any accrued interest on your motusbank chequing or savings account up until October 31 will be paid into your motusbank account. Your motusbank balances will be moved to Coast Capital on November 1.

  • If your motusbank account had overdraft protection, overdraft protection will be applied to the Coast Capital Unlimited Chequing Account.

  • To monitor your finances and avoid paying unnecessary fees, you’ll automatically be notified if your chequing or savings account balance falls below $100 or any amount you indicate to us. Unfortunately, any alert preferences you had with motusbank will not transition to your new account. You can change your preferences anytime in digital banking. Learn more about alerts and notifications.

  • You will receive two 2025 T5s for earned interest exceeding $50:

    • motusbank will provide a T5 applicable between Jan 1 to Oct 31; and

    • Coast Capital will provide a T5 applicable between Nov 1 to Dec 31

  • Your Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation (CDIC) coverage remains the same with Coast Capital. If you’re already a Coast Capital member, and your balance will exceed deposit insurance eligibility limits when your accounts are moved, contact us or visit cdic.ca for more information.

  • If the Unlimited Chequing Account isn’t right for you, we can help you choose the right account on or after November 1, including our Elevate Chequing Account which could potentially help you get paid more. Explore our chequing accounts.
