The free access is available for one account holder. The Primary account holder will receive the activation code but can choose to give the code to another account holder to use instead. Joint account holders interested in identity theft protection services can also enroll in one of the paid plans. For more details, visit www.ccs.idassist.com.

No, you can only receive one monthly fee discount per Unlimited Chequing account. For example, you cannot receive both the Seniors Discount and the Direct Deposit discount on the same account in the same month. We automatically apply to your account the highest value discount you are eligible for each month.

If you have multiple bank accounts, you could receive a different monthly fee discount for each account, as long as you meet the eligibility requirements to receive each of the discounts.
