† The Simplii FinancialTM High Interest Savings Account Promotional Interest Rate Offer for New Simplii Clients (the “HISA Offer”) is available starting on February 1, 2024 at 12:00 am UTC and ending on April 30, 2024 at 11:59 pm UTC (the “Offer Period”). The following terms and conditions (“Terms”) explain in detail how you can earn a special annual interest rate of 6.00% for 153 days on your first Simplii Financial High Interest Savings Account (“HISA”). To accept this offer, you must open an Eligible HISA during the Offer Period and make a deposit to your Eligible HISA during the Promotional Rate Period (as such capitalized terms are defined in these Terms).
1. Promotional Rate Period
If you meet the eligibility criteria and other conditions described in these Terms, the balance of your Eligible HISA (up to $1,000,000) will earn Promotional Interest (defined below) for 153 days (which is about 5 months) from the date the HISA was opened (the "Promotional Rate Period").
2. Eligibility
To be eligible for this HISA Offer, you must:
- Be a new client with no prior relationship with Simplii Financial (a “New Simplii Client”). To become a Simplii Financial client, you must apply and be approved for a Simplii Financial product. When you apply for your first Simplii Financial product, we will create a unique client identification number for you (your “Client Number”); and
- Open a HISA for the first time as the primary accountholder during the Offer Period and within 60 days after your Client Number was created (“Eligible HISA”).
If you qualify, your Eligible HISA will earn Promotional Interest during the Promotional Rate Period (subject to certain restrictions as outlined in Section 4). Only your first Eligible HISA will qualify for Promotional Interest under this HISA Offer (no matter how many HISAs you open). For joint HISAs, the HISA may be eligible to earn Promotional Interest if the primary account holder is a New Simplii Client and meets all of the terms and conditions set out in these Terms.
3. How interest is calculated and paid
The special annual interest rate of 6.00% is a combination of the regular annual interest rate set by Simplii Financial payable on a HISA balance (“Regular Interest”), plus the promotional annual interest rate (“Promotional Interest”).
Interest on an Eligible HISA is calculated as follows:
- Regular Interest is calculated at the current rate applicable to the Eligible HISA account balance on each day’s full closing balance;
- Promotional Interest is calculated on each day's full closing balance up to a balance limit of $1,000,000 during the Promotional Rate Period
Regular Interest and Promotional Interest are calculated daily and paid monthly. Promotional Interest is paid within the first two business days following the month in which it was calculated. Promotional Interest will only be paid if the Eligible HISA is active and in good standing at the time of payment. If it is not, payment of Promotional Interest will be forfeited for that month.
Regular and Promotional Interest rates may change at any time without prior notice. For current regular rates, visit our rates page. Any change to the Regular Interest rate (or the applicable interest rate tier) will result in a corresponding change to the Promotional Interest rate so that the special annual interest rate will remain constant for the Promotional Rate Period.
At the end of the Promotional Rate Period, all balances will earn interest only at the Regular Interest rate.
4. Restrictions
Additional terms, conditions, and limitations apply to the opening of and making deposits into Eligible HISAs. Individuals must meet the criteria set by Simplii Financial to open or hold an Eligible HISA to qualify for the HISA Offer. Ask for details.
The HISA Offer is non-transferable and cannot be combined with any other promotional savings offers unless otherwise indicated. Promotional Interest cannot be substituted or transferred to a third party. Simplii Financial reserves the right to cancel or change the terms of the HISA Offer at any time, for any reason, without notice and revoke the HISA Offer for any customer who appears to be manipulating or abusing the HISA Offer, or is engaged in any suspicious/fraudulent activity. The terms and conditions of the Simplii Financial Products and Services Agreement continue to apply to all Eligible HISAs.

‡‡ The 20% cash back offer (applies an incremental 18.5% cash back to the 1.5% cash back already awarded) on eligible gas, groceries, drugstore purchases and pre-authorized payments is available to new cardholders who apply and are approved for the Simplii Financial Cash Back Visa Card beginning March 1, 2024. The 18.5% incremental cash back applies on eligible gas, groceries, drugstore purchases and pre-authorized payments made during your first 3 monthly statement periods beginning from your account open date or $500 in total gas, groceries, drugstore purchases and pre-authorized payments (equal to $92.5 cash back), whichever comes first. This offer will not result in any changes to the 1.5% cash back already earned on restaurant, bar and coffee shop purchases, and those purchases will be included within the $15,000 annual spend limit that earns 1.5% cash back. This offer may be withdrawn or changed without prior notice at any time. Simplii Financial may, in its sole discretion, disqualify, limit or revoke this offer if you are believed to be abusing or manipulating it, or engaging in any suspicious or fraudulent activity.
Cash back is earned on net card purchases (purchases less returns) when your account is open and in good standing and not on cash advances, interest, fees, balance transfers, payments or Convenience Cheques. Cash back is calculated as follows: Earn 4% on the first $5,000 in net annual card purchases on restaurant, bar and coffee shop purchases, which currently include merchants classified as Eating Places and Restaurants; Drinking Places (Alcoholic Beverages): Bars, Taverns, Nightclubs, Cocktail Lounges, and Discotheques; Fast Food Restaurants; or Caterers. Earn 1.5% on the first $15,000 in net annual card purchases on gas, grocery and drugstore purchases and pre-authorized payments. Gas, grocery and drugstore purchases currently include merchants classified as Service Stations (with or without Ancillary Services); Automated Fuel Dispensers; Grocery Stores and Supermarkets; Drugs, Drug Proprietaries, and Druggist's Sundries; or Drugstores and Pharmacies. Pre-authorized payments are payments made on a monthly or other regular basis, which are automatically billed by the merchant to your Account. Earn 0.5% on all other net annual card purchases, including those in the categories above when the $5,000 and $15,000 limits are exceeded. If a transaction could fit under more than one cash back category, you will be awarded the cash back of the higher category, subject to the $5,000 and $15,000 limits. Merchants are classified by the credit card network and the network may change the names of classifications or change the classification of merchants at any time. Simplii Financial is not responsible for merchant classification. The $5,000 and $15,000 limits will reset to zero after the day your December statement is issued. Your cash back is applied as an annual credit on the primary cardholder’s January statement. Changes to terms, conditions and eligible merchant categories may occur at any time without notice. We may cancel the cash back program on 60 days’ notice. Credit for returns made on your Account may result in a deduction of cash back at a higher earn rate, even though the return may relate to a purchase that earned cash back at a lower rate.
"Purchase" means any Transaction other than a Cash Advance, Balance Transfer or Convenience Cheque. "Cash" means a Cash Advance, Balance Transfer and Convenience Cheque. Interest rates may change from time to time.
