The Offer
The special annual interest rate of 2.00% is a combination of the regular annual interest rate set by Simplii Financial payable on an Eligible Account balance (“Regular Interest”), plus the promotional annual interest rate (“Promotional Interest”) that is calculated at the end of the Offer Period on the Additional Balance as defined below. Any change to the Regular Interest rate will result in a corresponding change to the Promotional Interest rate so that the overall special annual interest rate of 2.00% will remain the same during the Offer Period.
For Eligible Accounts opened before the Offer Period, Promotional Interest is calculated as follows:
(a) for Eligible Savings Accounts, on the portion of the applicable account’s average daily closing balance during the Offer Period that exceeds the closing balance as at September 30, 2020 (the “Additional Balance”) up to a maximum Additional Balance limit of $500,000 aggregated across all Eligible Savings Accounts; and
(b) for Eligible Registered Savings Accounts, on the Additional Balance in each individual Eligible Registered Savings Account up to a maximum Additional Balance limit of $500,000 per account.
If an Eligible Account is overdrawn as at September 30, 2020, the closing balance is deemed to be $0.00.
For Eligible Accounts opened during the Offer Period, Promotional Interest is calculated as follows:
(a) for Eligible Savings Accounts, on the account’s average daily closing balance from the date the Eligible Account is opened to the end of the Offer Period (the “New Balance”), up to a maximum New Balance limit of $500,000 aggregated across all Eligible Savings Accounts; and
(b) for Eligible Registered Savings Accounts, on the New Balance in each individual Eligible Registered Savings Account up to a maximum New Balance limit of $500,000 per account.
Promotional Interest will not be paid on existing funds that were in any Simplii Financial deposit or registered account as at September 30, 2020 and are transferred to an Eligible Account during the Offer Period.
Promotional Interest will be paid in April 2021 into a single Eligible Savings Account held by the primary account holder and separately into the applicable Eligible Registered Savings Account where it was earned. Promotional Interest will not be paid: (i) into any Eligible Savings Account unless at least one of the primary account holder’s Eligible Savings Accounts is active and in good standing as at March 31, 2021; or (ii) into any Eligible Registered Savings Account that is not active and in good standing as at March 31, 2021.
