Reduce service charges? Yes, it's possible!
Some regular transactions are subject to service charges that are withdrawn automatically from your account on the last business day of the month.
Good news: you can reduce your service charges by using Desjardins ATMs and by choosing the right products and services.
The Desjardins Youth Profit Account, for example, gives accountholders between 18 and 21 years of age and full-time students between 21 and 25 years of age a rebate of up to $4 on monthly service charges. The rebate applies to per transaction fees or to monthly fixed-rate plans. With a monthly fixed-rate plan, you not only reduce account expenses but know in advance the amount due each month.
