Frequently Asked Questions about National Bank Online
What is the difference between a chequing and a savings account?
You can use your chequing account for day-to-day transactions like making bill payments and transferring money to other people or accounts. With a National Bank chequing account, you can get a debit card, a chequebook and access to your online banking and customer service by phone or in a branch.
An NBC savings account is an account that earns interest. It’s a great way to save up for a specific goal, like a vacation or a new car, or to ensure you have an emergency fund available when you need it. A savings account offers an interest rate on the money you put in it.
How do I get my debit card?
You will receive a debit card when you open a chequing account. You’ll be able to set your personal Identification number (PIN) at the branch ABM. If there is no ABM at your branch, you will receive your card and PIN by mail.
