* Transaction includes any deposit, withdrawal or transfer, cheques drawn by you and any cheque or manual merchant slip deposited to your account. For example, a deposit to an account with two cheques will count as three transactions, one for the deposit (which if Staff Assisted will be charged as a branch transaction) and one for each cheque lodged because each cheque requires individual processing.

** Temporary service interruptions may occur. Technical requirements apply.
