If a BIGA is overdrawn as at June 30, 2025, Promotional Interest will be applied to new balances after overdrawn funds have been cleared.
Regular interest (“Regular Interest”) is calculated daily at the current rate on each day’s end of day final balance, and paid monthly.
Regular Interest may be referred to as “Daily Credit Interest” and Promotional Interest may be referred to as “Promo Interest” on record keeping (such as CIBC Online Banking).
