Looking for the thrill of having your very first paycheque deposited automatically into your account? Or wanting to forget about manually paying bills month after month? The most convenient way to achieve this is through automatic payments known as pre-authorized credit and debits.
Pre-authorized credits are funds that are automatically deposited into your bank account at regular intervals. Pre-authorized debits are payments that are set up to debit a Coast Chequing or Coast Savings account and credit an external company.
Pre-authorized payments cannot be set up to automatically debit or credit a registered plans account or mortgage.
