FAQ

The Manulife All-In Banking Package has a monthly fee of $10 per month – but we make it easy for you to waive your monthly fee and get free banking. At the end of every month, if your High-Interest Savings Account balance is $100 higher than it was on the last day of the previous month, we’ll waive the monthly fee.

Yes! Manulife Bank is a member of the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation (CDIC), which means your deposits are eligible for CDIC deposit insurance protection.

Visit www.cdic.ca to learn more.

When you apply for the Manulife All-In Banking Package, you have to apply for the entire package.

The entire package (i.e. your everyday banking account, your high-interest savings account, and your travel disruption insurance) is opened at the same time. This means that you can’t cancel or opt out of any one part of the package by itself.

Your available balance = the money you have in your everyday banking account, plus your secured overdraft limit, minus any funds on hold.

Savings Sweeps can make it easier for you to reach your savings goals. Simply choose how much money you want to keep in your everyday banking account, and the rest will be moved to your savings account at the end of each day. Remember, if you grow the balance of your savings account by $100 each month, we’ll waive your monthly banking fee!

You can turn Savings Sweeps on or off through the mobile app and edit the balance that should remain in your everyday banking account after the daily sweep.

If you don’t have access to your mobile device, you can sign into online banking and delete the sweep in the Future Transactions section. If you’d like to set it up again however, you’ll have to sign into the mobile app.

Obviously, it’s never ideal to rely on overdraft, but we’re all human. Once in a while, we forget about an automatic withdrawal or we’re just short on cash for our daily spending.

Secured overdraft helps with unexpected expenses when you don’t have enough available cash in your everyday banking account, but you do have money in your high-interest savings account (HISA). This feature helps you make the most of your savings. While the money in your HISA is working hard and earning you interest, secured overdraft can reduce worry about missing payments and could save you from non-sufficient funds (NSF) charges. 

Your secured overdraft limit is 75% of the balance in your HISA, to a max of $5000. For example, if you have $1,000 in your HISA, you can overdraw your Everyday Banking Account by up to $750. A 15% per year interest rate does apply to secured overdraft, which is calculated daily, however there are no daily or per use fees.

Any money you borrow from the secured overdraft are charged interest, calculated daily at an annual rate of 15% until paid back. Payments of the overdraft are not reported to your credit bureau.

Any amount that you transfer or deposit into your everyday banking account will first go towards paying back any outstanding overdraft borrowings.

Yep! Whether you're banking online or through the mobile app, use the same login credentials to access your account.

If your account is jointly-held, your statement options will depend on what kind of account you have.

If you have a loan and have asked for separate disclosure, each of you can set your statement preference separately. For example, one of you may choose e-statements while the other chooses paper.

If you have any other kind of account, both account holders must choose the same option - either paper or e-statements. However, with e-statements, each account holder can set their own notification preference and enter their own email address. In this case, we'll send you each your own notification when your e-statement is ready.

When you deposit money into your account, there’s generally a hold on the money to allow time for the money to get to your account. This means you can’t access some or all of your deposit right away. The amount and duration of the hold depends on the type of deposit you make:

There are a few reasons where the maximum hold limits listed above may be extended:

• Your account is less than 90 days old
• A cheque you deposited has already been deposited somewhere else
• The date on a cheque you deposited is more than six months ago
• Cases where we believe there may be illegal, fraudulent, or improper account activity
  

We can also accept deposits from you on a ‘collection-only basis’. This means that the money will show up in your account after we get payment from the other bank or financial institution you’re sending it from.

Unless your account is newer than 90 days old, you should be able to use up to $100 of your deposit the next business day. To confirm, check the Available balance for your account.

Note: we can’t accept cheques from foreign banks. Instead, ask the sender to wire the transfer to your Manulife Bank account.

Paper or electronic statements? The choice is yours - but you will need to make a choice. If you've chosen e-statements, we won't send you a paper statement. The good news is, if you've chosen e-statements, you'll be able to print or save a copy of your statement while it's available online.

To send money to another country, you'll need to initiate a wire transfer.

• Setting up an automatic, recurring deposit (sometimes known as a Pre-Authorized Cheque, or PAC) is a great way to increase your savings or pay down your debt more quickly.
• You can set up automated transfers from another account by using the Future Transfers feature in your online banking or in the mobile app.
• If you want to transfer money from an external account and haven't yet linked it to your Manulife Bank account, you can use the Link External Accounts function to do so.

You can use ATMs outside Canada when you see the Accel or Maestro symbol. There are fees for transactions outside Canada.

Great question! Visit manulifebank.ca for information on any current promotions.

We want to help you make your money work harder - and reducing fees can be part of the solution. There are a couple of ways you can do this:

If you have an Advantage Account, your day to day banking fees will be waived when you have a balance of $1,000 or more.

If you have the Manulife All-In Banking Package, if your High-Interest Savings Account balance is at least $100 higher than it was at the end of month before, we’ll rebate your monthly fee. For example:

• If you had $1,000 in your High-Interest Savings Account last month, you’d need to grow it to $1,100 this month to get free banking.
• If you had $1,000 in your High-Interest Savings Account last month and you withdraw $500 of that, your balance needs to be $1,100 by the end of this month to get free

If you have a Manulife One or Manulife Bank Select account, we'll waive your monthly fee when you maintain a positive balance of $5,000 or more across the account.

You can request a copy of a cheque by calling us at 1-877-765-2265. Note that a fee may apply.

Activating your ManulifeBank card is easy: just call 1-877-765-2265 and follow the instructions.

To activate your ManulifeMONEY+™ Visa* card, give us a call at 1-844-323-7053.

It's easy to add a new bill from your online account. Just select "Add a Payee", and follow the steps to get set up.

• Learn how to pay bills using online banking
• Learn how to pay bills using mobile app

If you're trying to add a bill payee and can't find the name of the company, try a less specific search. For example, instead of searching for "HBC", try "Hudson's Bay Company."

If you're still unable to find the payee, submit a request to suggest a new payee be added to the list and we'll do our best to get it added.

Unfortunately, there may be some payees that we can't add due to technical limitations.

Before we can add somebody as a joint owner, they need a Manulife Bank account of their own.

Once they’ve opened their own account, or if they already have one, we need both of you to call us at 1-877-765-2265 between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. Monday to Friday, or between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday across all Canadian time zones.

To change the name on your account, you'll need to give us a call. If you have a ManulifeMONEY+ Visa account, please call us at 1-844-323-7053. For all other bank accounts, please call us at 1-877-765-2265.

There are two ways to change your password: in your online account, or in our mobile app.

To change your password from your online account, select 'Change password' under the 'My profile' section, and follow the steps.

To change your password in our mobile app, tap "More" from the home screen, then "My profile & settings", then "Change password".

Note that if you have a ManulifeMONEY+ Visa card, you'll need to change that password separately. To do so, please log into our credit card website.

It's a good idea to change your PIN to something you can remember easily. Just don't use easy to guess PINs like 1234 or your birthdate.

You can change the PIN on your Manulife Bank card at any Manulife Bank or EXCHANGE^® Network ATM. If you've forgotten your PIN, you can reset your PIN through our mobile application available on iOS or Android or by calling us at 1-877-765-2265.

If you want to make a change to a scheduled transfer or Interac e-Transfer^® transaction, you'll need to cancel the transfer and set up a new one. Just go to Money Transfers or Interac e-Transfer^® in your online account, or the Transfers page on our mobile app.

You can easily check the status of a transfer by selecting the associated account from the Accounts page and reviewing your transaction history. If you see the transaction listed - your transfer is complete.

If you don't see the transaction you're looking for, go to Money Transfers or Interac e-Transfer^® in your online account, or the Transfers page on our mobile app to see upcoming transfers and Interac e-Transfer transactions that haven't yet been completed.

To close a ManulifeMONEY+ Visa account, please call us at 1-844-323-7053.

You can delete a bill payee right from your online account, or in our mobile app.

In your online account, simply select 'Delete a payee' from the 'Pay bills' section, select the payee that you want to remove, then hit 'Delete payee' and confirm when the popup appears.

In the mobile app, tap the payee you want to delete followed by the trash can icon in the top right corner. Finish it off by selecting 'Delete' when the confirmation message displays.

If you delete a bill payee by mistake, don’t worry, you can always re-add it.

Once you have signed into our mobile banking app, tap ‘Deposit’ in the main menu. From there, follow the instructions to complete your deposit.

Our mobile banking app will automatically capture the image for you. Simply centre the cheque in the viewfinder; the app will take the photo once it detects an acceptable image. The app may ask you to take the picture yourself manually. In this case, simply follow the instructions on the screen.

You can’t deposit cheques that are:

• Dated more than six months in the past
• Future-dated
• Not payable to you (the account holder)
• From a non-Canadian financial institution

Note: we can’t accept cheques from foreign banks. Instead, ask the sender to wire the transfer to your Manulife Bank account.

There are lots of ways to deposit money into your account:

• Set up direct deposit so your paycheque goes directly into your account
• Deposit Canadian-dollar cheques using our mobile banking app by simply taking a picture
• Visit an ATM on THE EXCHANGE^® Network that accepts deposits
• Set up a recurring money transfer from another Canadian bank or credit union
• Set up Interac e-Transfer transactions to deposit money directly into your account
• Send Canadian-dollar or US-dollar cheques from other Canadian banks by mail to Manulife Bank, 500 King Street North, PO Box 1602, Waterloo, ON, N2J 4C6.
• Visit an RBC Royal Bank branch and give the teller one of your RBC Royal Bank deposit slips. Note, you can only deposit Canadian-dollar or US-dollar cheques from other Canadian banks at RBC branches.

Note: we can’t accept cheques from foreign banks. Instead, ask the sender to wire the transfer to your Manulife Bank account.

There are lots of ways you can withdraw money:

• Deposit or withdraw cash at thousands of ATMs across Canada
• Send and receive money using Interac e-Transfer
• Make Interac^® Debit purchases across Canada
• In-store cash back at participating retailers
• Transfer money to or from your accounts at other Canadian banks
• Make bill payments
• Make pre-authorized payments
• Deposit or write cheques
• Send or receive wire transfers

In-store cash back (or debit card cash back) is a service where stores will add an amount to your final purchase, and give you that cash.

For example, if your grocery bill comes to $54.17 and you ask for $20 cash back, the store would charge you a total of $75.17 and give you a $20 bill with your receipt. Keep in mind you can only get in-store cash back on debit card purchases, and not all stores offer this service.

It saves you time by letting you skip the bank machine and get cash while you’re running other errands.

Every store decides if they’ll offer cash back, but if they do, you can definitely get cash back on any purchases made with your Manulife Bank debit card.

Before we can open any new account, Manulife Bank must verify you are who you say you are.  Not only does verifying your identity enable us to process your application, but it also helps protect you from fraud.  At most, we’ll ask you to show two pieces of identification (ID) from two different sources. We may need just one. We may not need any at all if you already have another account here.

We accept different kinds of printed or electronic ID, depending on whether you apply in person at a representative’s office, by video conference, or online.

• Your best bet online: most times your identity is confirmed using a ‘soft’ credit bureau check, that doesn’t affect your credit score and isn’t visible to third parties. Our systems also offer real-time alternatives you may use to confirm your identity.
• Your best bet in person or by video conference: show one piece of valid, unexpired, Canadian photo ID, issued by the federal or a provincial government. (Not a health card if you live in a province where the law doesn’t allow health cards to be used for this purpose, including: ON, NS, NB, MB, PE, SK or YK.)

If you don’t have an established credit history, or a suitable government-issued photo ID, then we will ask you for two pieces of ID from two different sources. You’re bound to have statements, certificates, or bills from well-known and reliable sources that will help verify your name plus two out of three of these: your address, or your date of birth, or a financial account.

We’re required by law to ask for your Social Insurance Number (SIN) when you open a savings account or a Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP), for example, which require us to report deposits and withdrawals or the amount of annual interest you earn to the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA).

If you’re applying for a credit card, mortgage, or other kind of loan, we may ask for additional information, such as a credit file and proof of income, before approving your application.

To set up direct deposit, give your employer your direct deposit form, which you can download and print from online banking after you sign in.

1. Choose your account from the home page
2. Select Direct deposit form (PDF) under More.

Unfortunately, we can’t provide you with cash in other currencies. To send money to someone else in another currency, you can do so using a wire transfer. Note that there will be a fee for this service.

If you have a US-dollar cheque from a Canadian bank or financial institution, there are two ways to deposit those cheques into your account:

• Send cheques by mail to Manulife Bank, 500 King Street North, PO Box 1602, Waterloo, ON, N2J 4C6
• Visit an RBC Royal Bank branch and give the teller one of your RBC Royal Bank deposit slips. Note, you can only deposit Canadian-dollar or US-dollar cheques from other Canadian banks at RBC branches.

If you have a US dollar Advantage Account, you can transfer money to and from your US dollar accounts at other Canadian financial institutions, or you can have US funds sent to your account via wire transfer.

To receive money from somebody in a different country, they can send you a wire transfer.

There are two ways to get an official (also known as certified) cheque:

1. You can order official cheques up to $50,000 through our mobile app, available on iOS and Android devices. To order an official cheque for more than $50,000, you need to call us at the number below.
2. Call us toll-free at 1-877-765-2265, Monday to Friday, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., or between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. on the weekends, across all local Canadian time zones. If our toll-free number isn't available in your location, call us collect at 1-519-747-7000, Monday to Friday between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. ET.

If you are registered for e-statements you can view statements online or in our mobile app:

1. Sign in to online banking or our mobile app
2. Select the account you'd like to view statements for
3. Select the Statements tab
4. Select a statement from the list or, if you have not registered for e-statements, follow the prompts to change your preferences.

Manulife Bank provides a pre-filled direct deposit form that contains all the information required in place of a void cheque which you can download and print from online banking after you sign in.

1. Choose your account from the home page
2. Select Direct deposit form (PDF) under More.

There are a couple of ways you can get new deposit slips:

You can order new slips by email. Before you do this, first ensure the contact information we have for you has your current email address. Then, email us at mybank@manulife.com with your account number and shipping address. If the account is joint, please also provide us with your name so we know who we're shipping it to.

You can also order deposit slips by calling us at 1-877-765-2265.

Please note that deposit slips aren’t currently available with the Manulife All-In Banking Package.

If you need a new card, we can help. For a new bank card, call us at 1-877-765-2265. If you need a new ManulifeMONEY+™ Visa* credit card, call us at 1-844-323-7053.

Nobody likes to pay bills. But at least we make it easy. 

To set up a bill you want to pay, “add a payee” using online or mobile banking, or by calling 1-844-217-9555. Now you can pay bills from that company whenever you choose using online, mobile or telephone banking.

• Learn how to pay bills using online banking
• Learn how to pay bills using mobile banking

Once you've added a payee to your account, you can make either single or recurring payments.

If you make a payment today, the money will be debited from your account immediately. If you schedule a bill payment for a future date, the money will come out of your account on that date. Keep in mind that if you pay a bill on the weekends or bank holidays, the money will be debited right away, but the payment won’t be posted until the next business day. If you need to reverse a payment, that can be done on the next business day after the payment is posted.

It's a good idea to schedule a bill payment for three to five days before the due date, since some companies take longer to process payments.

Switching to e-statements is a great way to reduce your impact on the environment. To make the switch, log into online banking and click Statement Preferences from the top-right profile menu to change your preferences.

If you want to send a wire transfer to a Manulife Bank account or let us know about an incoming wire transfer, please call us at 1-877-765-2265. To get the status of an incoming wire transfer, you'll need to contact the institution the money is coming from.

If you want to send a Canadian Dollar wire transfer to another Financial Institution in Canada, you can request that through the Transfers page.

Note that there will be a fee for wire transfers.

You can send and receive money using Interac e-Transfer from your online account and our mobile app.

In your online account, go to Interac e-Transfer^® and select an existing recipient or add a new person, then follow the steps to send the money.

In our mobile app, go to the Transfers page, and follow the steps to send money.

When sending money using Interac e-Transfer, you’ll have to create a security question and answer for the recipient to accept the money. You should always use a strong security answer that can’t be easily guessed or found, share the answer with the recipient directly or through a safe channel, and don’t include any hints or clues in the optional message field.

From these pages, you can also transfer money between your accounts and even request a wire transfer.

To set up pre-authorized payments so you never forget to pay a bill, contact the company you want to pay. To provide them with your banking information, Manulife Bank offers a pre-filled direct deposit form that contains all the information required in place of a void cheque which you can download and print from online banking after you sign in.

1. Choose your account from the home page
2. Select Direct deposit form (PDF) under More.

With tap and pay, also known as Interac^® Debit contactless payments, you can make purchases up to $250 by tapping your card, rather than inserting your card into a payment machine and entering your PIN.

To activate this feature, you must first complete a transaction using your chip and PIN at a point of sale terminal or an ATM. Once you reach $400 in contactless payments, you'll have to insert your card and input your PIN to continue making contactless payments.

You can stop either one payment or a series of future bill payments. Simply select Stop Payment next to the payment you want to cancel and follow the prompts to confirm. 

One thing to keep in mind: when you cancel one upcoming payment in a series, the entire series will be deleted.

It's easy to cancel an upcoming transfer. Just go to Money Transfers or Interac e-Transfer^®  in your online account or the Transfers page on our mobile app. You can also cancel an Interac e-Transfer transaction, as long as your recipient hasn't deposited the money yet.

Keep in mind that, when you cancel an upcoming transfer that's part of a series of transfers,the entire series will be cancelled. The good news is, you can set up a new transfer or series of transfers from this page too.

To transfer money between your Manulife Bank account and your account at another Canadian bank you need to link your accounts. Once your accounts are connected, you can transfer money from within your Manulife Bank account using online, mobile, or telephone banking. There’s no need to set up the link at your other bank – you can do it all through Manulife Bank.

If you need to see a statement that's older than that (there will be a fee for this), give us a call at 1-877-765-2265.

The location of the financial institution you’re sending the wire transfer to determines the processing time. 

Wire transfers sent to financial institutions:

• within Canada: up to 48 hours
• in the U.S.: up to 5 business days
• outside of Canada and the U.S.: up to 10 business days

When the wire transfer is complete, it will appear as a withdrawal in the transaction history of your account.  If there is a problem with your wire transfer, we’ll contact you using the number you provided in your transfer request.

The most common reason why automatic bill payments don't get paid is that there wasn't enough money in the payment account. If you don't enough money in your account today, you may need to transfer money into your bank account and pay the bill manually - but just for this month. The automatic transfers will continue as planned going forward.

Dealing with loss is never easy. Please contact us at 1-877-765-2265 at your earliest convenience and we'll guide you through the next steps.

No, there is no cost to use our mobile deposit feature. If fee changes are planned, we will notify you at least 30 days in advance.

The limit for a bill payment from your account is $50,000.

Have a great trip!

If you’re travelling in the U.S., many gas stations require your zip code if you’re paying at the gas pump with your Manulife Bank debit card or ManulifeMONEY+^TM Visa* credit card. To get your ‘zip code’, take the 3 numbers from your Canadian postal code and add “00” to the end. For example, if your postal code is M4W 1E6, use “41600” when prompted to enter your zip code at the pump. Alternatively, you can pay the cashier inside the station.

If you have a Canadian-dollar cheque from a Canadian bank or financial institution that’s made payable to you, you can deposit the following types of cheque using an ATM or mobile deposit:

• Personal
• Business
• Certified
• Money order
• Government
• Convenience
• Counter

If you have a US-dollar cheque from a Canadian bank or financial institution, there are two ways to deposit those cheques into your account:

• Send cheques by mail to Manulife Bank, 500 King Street North, PO Box 1602, Waterloo, ON, N2J 4C6
• Visit an RBC Royal Bank branch and give the teller one of your RBC Royal Bank deposit slips. Note, you can only deposit Canadian-dollar or US-dollar cheques from other Canadian banks at RBC branches. 

You can’t deposit cheques that are:

• Dated more than six months in the past
• Future-dated
• Not payable to you (the account holder)
• From a non-Canadian financial institution
  

Note: we can’t accept cheques from foreign banks. Instead, ask the sender to wire the transfer to your Manulife Bank account.

Once you've deposited a cheque using mobile deposit, it's a good idea to hang onto it for a couple of weeks, just to ensure the deposit was successful. After 15 days, assuming everything went smoothly, you can destroy the cheque.

When you make a bill payment, the money will be withdrawn from your account right away.
 
If you're scheduling a bill payment for a future date, the money will be withdrawn from your account on the scheduled date. The money needs to be in your account the day before the payment is scheduled.

It can take up to 3 days to process bill payments, so you should make bill payments at least 3 days before the due date to make sure it's made on time.

Depending on the type of account you have, you'll receive your tax statement through Canada Post sometime between January and March of each year.

If you've registered for e-statements, your tax statement will be posted once it's available. Otherwise, we'll send your statement to you each year before tax season. If you didn't receive yours, we'd be happy to send a duplicate.

Before requesting a duplicate, please verify your Contact Information on file has your current email address, then email mybank@manulife.com with your request. Don't forget to include your account number.

You can also call us at 1-877-765-2265, and we can take your request over the phone.

As a Manulife Bank customer, you have fee-free access to thousands of ATMs across Canada that are part of THE EXCHANGE® Network. Use our ATM locator to find the one that's closest to you. You'll be able to see within the ATM locator which of these machines accept deposits and which are withdrawal-only.

Note that ATM transaction fees may still apply for specific products or transactions.

In addition to ATMs bearing THE EXCHANGE Network logo, you can also make withdrawals at any ATM bearing the Interac^® logo. However, you may be charged additional fees for ATMs that don't have THE EXCHANGE Network logo.

You can also get money with in-store cash back from participating retailers.

At Manulife Bank, we prefer to focus on helping you build your savings instead of building branches. But, you can access thousands of ATMs across Canada that are part of the THE EXCHANGE® Network, and you can get money when making a debit purchase with in-store cash back at participating retailers. To find the nearest bank machine, use our ATM locator.

Mobile deposits can be made to the following Canadian-dollar personal and business account types: 

• Personal Advantage Accounts
• Business Advantage Account
• Lines of credit
• Manulife One
• Manulife Bank Select

Mobile deposits can be made with any Apple smartphone or tablet running iOS 9.0 or higher, or any Android smartphone or tablet versions 4.2 or higher – provided your device has a camera.

Like all banks, we may put a temporary hold on a portion of your money if you’ve recently made a large deposit or if your account is quite new. This allows us to confirm the money has arrived in your account before you withdraw it.

To have a hold reviewed, please call us at 1-877-765-2265, or send an email with your current email, name and account number to mybank@manulife.ca.

If you're trying to add a bill payee and can't find the name of the company, try a less specific search. For example, instead of searching for "HBC", try "Hudson's Bay Company."

Unfortunately, there may be some payees that we can't add due to technical limitations.

Not all transactions will appear in your history right away. Depending on the type of transaction and time of day, it may be a day or two before it appears in your transaction history.

If you're having difficulty depositing a cheque with our mobile app, here are a few possible solutions:

• Does the cheque have an amount and a signature?
• Are all four corners of the cheque within the frame?
• Is there good contrast between the cheque and the background? A dark background works best.

Make sure there are no shadows, folds, or bent corners.

If you made the deposit via our mobile app or at an ATM after 4 p.m. EST and don't see the deposit in your account, it will show up on the next business day. Rest assured, your money is there.

If your account has become dormant, you can reactivate it by simply making a bill payment from the account, or depositing money into the account using Interac e-Transfer or bank-to-bank transfer.

The first step in reducing your debt is looking for ways to reduce your debt - so good for you! Everybody's situation is different and there's no easy answer that works for everyone, but here are a few tips that might help:

First, look at your budget and make sure you're not spending more than you earn. You may need to cut back expenses so you have extra money to put towards your debt.

Once you've determined that you've got extra money in your budget, pay down the debt with the highest interest rate first. Often, this is your credit card. If you have a low-interest line of credit, like a Manulife One account, it might be a good idea to use that account to pay down your high-interest debt. That won't reduce your debt, but it will reduce the interest you're paying - and that can free up money to....you guessed it....pay off more debt.

If you'd like to learn about your options for reducing the debt, find a local advisor, and if you want to know more about reducing your Manulife One or Manulife Bank Select mortgage, give us a call at 1-877-765-2265 and we'd be happy to help.

It's frustrating when your card doesn't work, and we can help. If you need help with your ManulifeMONEY+ Visa card, call us at 1-844-323-7053.

Great question! It's definitely important to keep your most current contact information on file.

If you have a ManulifeMONEY+ Visa, you can update your phone number and email address by signing into your account. If you need to update your address, please call us at 1-844-323-7053.

First, we add up your balances at the end of each day during the monthly statement period. We divide that total by the number of days to get the average daily balance. We divide the average daily balance by 100 and then multiply the result by $0.99. We add provincial sales tax where required.

Here’s a simple example:

Balance from Day 1 to Day 10: $1,000
Balance from Day 11 to Day 15: $0 (balance paid off)
Balance from Day 16 to Day 31: $1,100

Average daily balance
($1,000 x 10 days + $0 x 5 days + $1,100 x 16 days) / 31 days = $890.32

Premium
$890.32 / $100 x $0.99 = $8.81 + provincial sales tax where required

We charge your premium to your credit card on the statement date.

For ManulifeMONEY+ Visa cards, the interest calculation depends on the type of transactions:

• For cash advances, interest is charged beginning on the day the cash is withdrawn.
• For balance transfers and convenience cheques, interest is charged beginning on the day those transactions are posted to your account.
• For purchases, interest is not charged if you repay the full balance by the payment date indicated on your statement. If you don't pay the balance in full by the payment date, interest will be charged on each purchase from the transaction date. In this case, interest is calculated by multiplying your balance at the end of each day by the daily interest rate (this is your annual rate divided by the number of days in the year). Interest is calculated daily and added to your account monthly.

There are a number of factors that are used to determine your credit limit, including your income, your credit history, and other debts, lines of credit, or credit cards you have. To request an increase to your ManulifeMONEY+ Visa credit card, give us a call at 1-844-323-7053. Note that you'll need to wait six months after your account has been activated before requesting an increase.

You should receive your ManulifeMONEY+ Visa card in 7 to 15 business days, assuming no additional information is needed. If we do need additional information, we'll give you a call. If you haven't received your card after 20 business days, please give us a call at 1-844-323-7053.

That depends on how much you spend on your card – but cash back adds up fast.

For example, here's how much you can save in cash back with a ManulifeMONEY+ Visa Infinite card:

And here's how much you can save in cash back with a ManulifeMONEY+ Visa Platinum card:

You can qualify for ManulifeMONEY+ Visa Infinite with a personal income of $60,000 or a household income of $100,000.

Your ManulifeMONEY+ Visa cash back rewards are automatically redeemed four times a year. The money will be automatically posted to your account as Cash Back Rewards in March, June, September, and December. You'll see your rewards appear on your statement in the Transaction Details as a credit amount. Note that cash back rewards do not contribute to your minimum payment, but they do reduce your New Balance for that period.

You’ll receive your new card about 20 days before your current card expires. If you haven’t received your new card 10 days before your current card expires, call us at 1-844-323-7053.

It's no fun to lose your card, but we can help. If you've lost your ManulifeMONEY+ Visa card, call us at 1-844-323-7053 (in Canada or the U.S.) or 1-647-252-9681 (International), and we can cancel your existing card, issue a new one, and investigate any unauthorized transactions.

To activate your new card, follow the instructions that come with it. If you use your card for any subscription services, you may need to update your expiry date in those accounts. Other than that, you can use your card as you have been and get the same great cash back rewards!

Your interest rates won’t change if you miss making one minimum payment by the due date during any 12-month period. However, if you miss making two (or more) minimum payments by the due date during any 12-month period, your interest rates will increase – refer to the Summary of Rates and Fees for the current rates:

• ManulifeMONEY+ Visa Platinum rates and fees
• ManulifeMONEY+ Visa Infinite rates and fees

If you make the minimum payments by the due date for 12 months in a row, your interest rates will go back to the regular rates.

Sometimes in life, the unexpected happens. Illness, injury or unemployment may lower your income and that means you’ll have less money available to make credit card payments. Balance protection is an optional add-on that may make difficult times less stressful by helping you keep up with your payments, so you can concentrate on getting back on your feet. View the benefits of balance protection.

For any questions about your ManulifeMONEY+ Visa card, call us toll-free at 1-844-323-7053. If the toll-free number isn't available in your area, please call us collect at 416-852-0703. You can speak to a representative 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. EST, 7 days a week, and our self-service phone system is available 24/7.

You can find a complete list of terms, conditions, limitations and exclusions in the Manulife Bank Balance Protection Certificate of Insurance. Some examples of exclusions include: 

• Job loss due to resignation or seasonal employment

Disability or critical illness diagnosed before your coverage starts

To keep your account safe, you should cut up your old card and dispose of it securely.

For the primary cardholder, coverage starts on the date Manulife receives your application. Coverage ends on whichever date comes first:

• The date you ask Manulife to cancel your coverage
• The date you turn age 70 (except life insurance coverage, which continues as long as you continue to pay premiums)
• The date Manulife cancels your credit card account or revokes your rights and privileges on the card
• The date of your death
• The date Manulife stops offering credit card balance protection through a group policy

For any spousal cardholder, coverage starts on the date you become a cardholder and ends on the date the primary cardholder’s coverage ends or on the date you no longer hold a valid Manulife Bank credit card.

For more details, please see the Balance Protection Certificate of Insurance.

If you're seeing interest charges on your credit card account even though you've paid your balance in full, it's likely that your payment wasn't received by the payment date showing on your statement. To avoid interest charges, you need to repay your balance in full no later than the payment date. Check out paragraph 10 of your ManulifeMONEY+ Visa Card cardholder agreement for more information.

At Manulife Bank, we're all about helping our customers become mortgage-free sooner. You've got a few options for paying down your mortgage more quickly, depending on what kind of mortgage debt you have.

If you have a Manulife One account:

• You can repay any debt in your Main account, a tracking sub-account, or an open term sub-account at any time, with no limits or penalties.
• If you have a closed term sub-account (e.g. a locked-in 5-year term), you can prepay up to 20% of the original balance each year without penalty.

If you have a Manulife Bank Select mortgage:

• If you have an open term, you can repay any amount at any time without penalty. You can also increase your regular payment by any amount once each year, without penalty.
• If you have a closed term, you can prepay up to 20% of the original amount and/or increase your regular payment by up to 25% each year, without penalty.

If you need more details about prepayment privileges, review your Operating Agreement or General Terms.

For your Manulife One or Manulife Bank Select, you can update the account owner details in our mobile app by going to the More menu, selecting More Bank Services, then Update account holder details. Submit your request, and we'll take it from there. Alternatively, you can call us at 1-877-765-2265 between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. Monday to Friday, or between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday across all Canadian time zones.

Locking in some or all of your debt at a fixed rate might be a good option if you're concerned that variable interest rates are heading up.

If you have a Manulife One mortgage, sign into your account, click Open Sub Account from the menu on the left side of the screen, then follow the steps provided.

If you have a Manulife Bank Select mortgage, please send us an email at mybank@manulife.com with your request, the best time for us to reach you, and a mortgage specialist contact you.

Your options for changing the date you make your mortgage payment will depend on what kind of mortgage you have:

If you have a Manulife One account:

• If you have a closed-term sub-account, you can only make payments monthly, and your payment will be automatically taken from your Main Account on the last day of each month. Unfortunately, this can't be changed.
• For your Main Account, you can make payments (deposits) whenever you wish.

If you have another type of Manulife Bank mortgage:

• You can change your payment to be on whatever date you choose. We'll just need to get the details from you. First, confirm your contact information has your current email address on file. Then, email mybank@manulife.com with the details of your payment change and we'll be in touch to confirm.

If you have a Manulife One account, you can increase or decrease the amount you make into your Main account at any time, as long as you don't exceed your borrowing limit.

For Manulife One fixed-term sub-accounts and all other Manulife Bank mortgages, please give us a call at 1-877-765-2265. We'll let you know what your options are and, if possible, make the change for you.

At Manulife Bank, we pride ourselves on offering competitive rates.

If you'd like to review rate options on your Manulife Bank mortgage, please give us a call at 1-877-765-2265.

An advisor is a great resource to help you achieve your financial goals. Whether you're looking for a local advisor or mortgage specialist, we can help.

If you already have an advisor but have simply forgotten who that is, sign into online banking, click on your account number and you'll see your advisor's name.

Manulife One can help you become debt-free sooner than with a traditional mortgage. But for it to work, you need to ensure you're depositing more money into your account than you're withdrawing. One of the best ways to do this is to have your income automatically deposited into your account. That way, your income automatically reduces your debt as soon as you receive it. And the money you have left over at the end of the month can stay in your account, reducing your debt and saving you interest.

If you're having difficulty reducing your debt, you may also want to add some structure to your account. You can do this by putting part of your debt into a term sub-account. A term sub-account is a traditional mortgage that sits within your Manulife One account. It has regular, structured principal and interest payments just like a traditional mortgage - and this structure might make it easier for you to ensure you're paying down your debt over time.

You can set up a Term sub-account by signing into online banking and selecting "Open Sub Account".

Get more information about sub-accounts here.

There are lots of ways you can withdraw money from your Manulife One account:

• Deposit or withdraw cash at thousands of ATMs across Canada
• Send and receive money using Interac e-Transfer
• Make debit purchases across Canada
• In-store cash back at participating retailers
• Transfer money to or from your accounts at other Canadian banks
• Make bill payments
• Make pre-authorized payments
• Deposit or write cheques
• Send or receive wire transfers

Manulife Bank has two of fantastic mortgage options - Manulife One and Manulife Bank Select - and three ways you can apply:

1. Take 2 minutes to fill out this form, and a Manulife Bank mortgage specialist with be in touch within 2 business days.
2. Call us at 1-844-239-4677 Monday-Friday, 8 AM to 5 PM EST
3. Contact your Advisor or Mortgage Broker.

Your mortgage is a big part of your financial life - and it's nice to be able to see your progress in paying it off. You can see how you're doing in your online account and the mobile app.

Just select your mortgage account from the Accounts page and then select Graph View. You'll see your progress over the last 30 days, but you can customize your view to see up to 1 year of activity.

If you have a Manulife One account, you can also see a graph of your progress on your monthly statement.

The Transfer page of our mobile app gives you lots of options for transferring money with your Manulife One account. You can transfer to and from an account in the same name at another institution or between Manulife Bank accounts.

You can also transfer money to and from sub-accounts within your Manulife One account. Note that these transfers go through your main account, so if you want to transfer from one sub-account to another you'll need to do two transfers:

1. From the first sub account to your main account
2. From your main account to the second sub-account

If you'd like to transfer ALL of the money out of your sub-account, use the Close Sub Account option.

If you'd like to transfer money into a fixed-term sub-account, you'll need to give us a call at 1-877-765-2265, as this is considered a principal payment.

Making a payment to your Manulife One account is easy. All you need to do is deposit money into your account. We encourage you to deposit your income into your Manulife One account so each time you get paid you automatically reduce your interest costs. Here are some other ways you can deposit money into your account:

• Direct deposit
• Fund transfers
• ATM deposits
• Interac e-Transfer

You can renew your Manulife Bank Select mortgage or Manulife One term sub-account up to 90 days before it matures.

• Learn about renewing your Manulife One sub-account
• Learn about renewing your Manulife Bank Select mortgage

For a Manulife One account, your minimum payment is the amount of interest you owe for that month. 

Once you've submitted a request for a mortgage increase, we'll contact you within two business days. At that time, we'll let you know if we need any additional information or documents.

When we have everything we need, it generally takes two to three weeks to approve and implement the increase.

There are a number of factors that determine how much you can afford to spend on a home. These include things like how much you’ve saved for a down payment, your household income and your monthly expenses. Use our mortgage affordability calculator to determine what amount of a mortgage that makes sense for you

If you've sent in a discharge request, you'll receive a discharge statement within the last five days before the closing date

It's difficult to predict if and when interest rates will increase. However, if you're concerned about how a rate increase might affect your budget, consider locking in your debt at a fixed rate. If you have a Manulife One account, you can put some or all of your variable-rate debt into a fixed-rate sub-account. This is like having a traditional mortgage within your Manulife One account. The rate for your sub-account will then be guaranteed for the length of the term you choose. You can find our terms and rates on our website. Call us at 1-877-765-2265 to speak to a Mortgage Specialist if you'd like to discuss this option.

Check out Today's Rates for the most up-to-date rate information.

When you request a mortgage increase, we may ask for the following documents - so it's good to have them handy:

• Notice of assessment
• Letter(s) of employment
• T1 general statement
• T4A statement

If you're not sure how to get these, don't worry. A lending specialist will let you know what documents we need and can help you determine how to get them.

If you've exceed the borrowing limit for your Manulife One account, please make a deposit to your account to bring your debt below your limit as soon as possible.

If you're experiencing financial difficulties and are not able to do so, please contact us at 1-877-765-2265 so we can discuss your situation.

Sub-accounts are a feature of your Manulife One account that allow you to divide your debt into different portions. You may wish to set up a sub-account to lock-in a rate, add some structure to your payments or just track a portion of your debt separately. Learn more about sub-accounts here. 

Manulife One is an all-in-one banking solution that combines your mortgage with your chequing and savings accounts, lines of credit and even your income to save you money and help you become debt-free sooner. Learn more about the Manulife One mortgage.

You may have heard the terms "readvanceable" and "non-readvanceable" with regards to Manulife One sub-accounts. A sub-account is simply a way of splitting off a portion of your Manulife One debt and treating it like a traditional mortgage.

If a sub-account is readvanceable, it means that as you pay it down, it creates borrowing room in your Main account. For example, if you have $10 of borrowing room in your Main account, and then you repay $1 of your sub-account, you will now have $11 of borrowing room in your Main account. 

If a sub-account is non-readvanceable, it means that as you pay it down, it DOESN'T create borrowing room in your main account. Using the same example, if you pay down $1 of your sub-account, you'll still have $10 of borrowing room in your main account. There's no additional borrowing room created.

If your Manulife One borrowing limit is more than 65% of the value of your home, any debt over 65% must be put into a non-readvanceable sub-account.

Your mortgage payments are based on several factors. These include:

• your interest rate
• whether you choose a fixed or variable rate mortgage
• the amount you borrow
• your payment frequency
• your term
• your amortization period

Use our payment calculator to help estimate what your payments will be.

To set up direct deposit, give your employer your direct deposit form, which you can download and print from online banking after you sign in.

1. Choose your account from the home page
2. Select Direct deposit form (PDF) under More.

You can always see how much interest you’ve paid in your monthly Manulife One statement. Come tax time, your December statement will list the total interest paid that year.

You likely received a letter asking you to provide us with evidence that you've got home insurance in place. If so, we sent this letter because we believe there's a problem with the policy we have on record for your property - such as a change that's been made or a payment that's been missed.

As your mortgage provider, we need to confirm that you have home insurance in place. If this sounds like the letter you received, please forward a copy of your current home insurance policy showing Manulife Bank as the Loss Payee as soon as possible.

The first step in reducing your debt is looking for ways to reduce your debt - so good for you! Everybody's situation is different and there's no easy answer that works for everyone, but here are a few tips that might help:

First, look at your budget and make sure you're not spending more than you earn. You may need to cut back expenses so you have extra money to put towards your debt.

Once you've determined that you've got extra money in your budget, pay down the debt with the highest interest rate first. Often, this is your credit card. If you have a low-interest line of credit, like a Manulife One account, it might be a good idea to use that account to pay down your high-interest debt. That won't reduce your debt, but it will reduce the interest you're paying - and that can free up money to....you guessed it....pay off more debt.

If you'd like to learn about your options for reducing the debt, find a local advisor, and if you want to know more about reducing your Manulife One or Manulife Bank Select mortgage, give us a call at 1-877-765-2265 and we'd be happy to help.

At Manulife Bank, we pride ourselves on offering competitive rates.

Registered Retirement Savings Plans (RRSPs), are a tax-deferred account to help Canadians save for retirement. In an RRSP, you can buy and hold a number of different investments, and as long as the investments are held in your RRSP, you don't have to pay tax on any of the interest, gains, or dividends you earn.

Each year, you can contribute up to 18% of your income, or the annual limit set by the CRA, whichever is lower. And, if you don't contribute the maximum amount in a given year, that space rolls over. To find out how much you can contribute, check the Notice of Assessment that you received after filing your taxes.

Learn more about our RRSPs here, or call us at 1-877-765-2265.

Tax-free savings accounts (TFSAs) are exactly that: it's an account that allows Canadians to save or invest, and any interest, gains, or dividends you earn are completely tax-free. For example, if you invest $5,000 in your TFSA and it grows to $9,000 over ten years, the $4,000 earned is tax-free.

Naturally, there's a limit on how much you can invest in your TFSA each year, and that limit depends on the annual limit set by the government, and when you were born. To determine your contribution room, check your CRA account, or visit their site to learn more.

You can learn about our TFSAs here, or call us at 1-877-765-2265.

We're happy to help you save for retirement through your Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP). Unfortunately, we don't have information on your contribution limit. To get that information, you'll need to contact the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA)

Tax Free Savings Account (TFSA) contribution limits are set by Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) - you can get more information by visiting the CRA website. To find out how much contribution room you have available, please contact the CRA.

For additional fraud prevention, make sure you use a strong security answer that can’t be easily guessed or found. You should only share the answer with the recipient directly or through a safe channel, and don’t include any hints or clues in the optional message field.

It's never fun to lose your mobile device - but don't panic. There are a few things you should do right away.

First, contact your wireless carrier as soon as possible. If you have a way to clear the memory of your device remotely, you should do that as well.

Second, if you're concerned that someone might be able to access your banking information, you should log into online banking at manulifebank.ca and change your password.

Finally, please give us a call at 1-877-765-2265 to let us know you've lost your device, so we can keep an eye out for fraudulent activity.

"Phishing" is a way that criminals try to get you to disclose personal information such as your username, password or credit card details by pretending to be a someone you know or trust. For example, you may receive a phone call from someone claiming to be a technician for a well-known company. They might state that your computer is releasing personal information and you need a technician to remotely access your computer to repair "the issue". They would then direct you to go to a website to grant them access to your computer. If you were to grant them access, they would be able to gain your personal information from your computer.

It's a good idea to change your PIN to something you can remember easily. Just don't use easy to guess PINs like 1234 or your birthdate.

Once you've added a payee to your account, you can make either single or recurring payments.

If you make a payment today, the money will be debited from your account immediately. If you schedule a bill payment for a future date, the money will come out of your account on that date. Keep in mind that if you pay a bill on the weekends or bank holidays, the money will be debited right away, but the payment won’t be posted until the next business day. If you need to reverse a payment, that can be done on the next business day after the payment is posted.

It's a good idea to schedule a bill payment for three to five days before the due date, since some companies take longer to process payments.

If you're scheduling a bill payment for a future date, the money will be withdrawn from your account on the scheduled date. The money needs to be in your account the day before the payment is scheduled.

 It can take up to 3 days to process bill payments, so you should make bill payment at least 3 days before the due date to make sure it's made on time. View a list of bill payments that take longer than usual to process.

Your funds will be removed from your account as soon as you send the money using Interac e-Transfer.  

You will receive notification that your recipient has accepted the funds either by email or text message -- the method you selected when you created or edited your Interac e-Transfer profile.  

If a recipient does not accept the money you sent using Interac e-Transfer, or you cancel a pending Interac e-Transfer transaction before the recipient accepts it, the funds will be re-deposited into your account.

When it comes to sending or receiving money, you want to make sure your contact information is correct.

If your Interac e-Transfer transaction didn't work, the first step is to double-check and make sure you've entered the correct email address and/or mobile phone number.

Once you've done that, here are some other potential problems that can cause issues with Interac e-Transfer transactions:

• If the number you entered is for a land-line rather than a mobile phone
• If you entered a non-Canadian mobile phone number
• If your recipient has blocked Interac e-Transfer notifications from being sent to their mobile phone number and/or email address
•  If your recipient is encountering technical problems with their mobile phone or network preventing messages from being received
• If your recipient's Mobile Network Operator does not support text messages
• If none of the above seem to be the cause of the problem, you can also try stopping the Interac e-Transfer transaction and sending it again.
• If that still doesn't work, please call us at 1-877-765-2265 and we'll help with further troubleshooting.

If you're trying to add a bill payee and can't find the name of the company, try a less specific search. For example, instead of searching for "HBC", try "Hudson's Bay Company."

If you're still unable to find the payee, submit a request to suggest a new payee be added to the list and we'll do our best to get it added.

Unfortunately, there may be some payees that we can't add due to technical limitations.

When you send money using Interac e-Transfer, the money is withdrawn from your account and held in another account, for your recipient to collect. Your recipient has 30 days to collect the money and, during that time, only you and the person you're sending it to have access to it.

If your recipient doesn't deposit the money within 30 days, the Interac e-Transfer transaction will expire. When that happens, you'll receive a notification advising you that you need to re-deposit the money back into your account.

If you forget - don't worry. We'll automatically put the money back into your account If you don't re-deposit the money within 7 days.
