3 ways to pay less in service fees

  1. Choose a monthly transaction plan. Pick one that suits your usual minimum balance and transaction volume.
  2. Combine transactions. Ask for cash back when you're paying for your groceries at the store.
  3. Bundle bills in a single payment. Pay off your credit card in one monthly payment instead of several.

  1. Cheques and pre-authorized payments are transactions that cannot be made with a Regular Savings Account.
  2. For withdrawals at non-Desjardins Interac* and Plus -affiliated ATMs, fees of $1.50, $3.00 or $5.00 may apply. However, some ATM operators may charge additional fees. They must inform you of the fee via an on-screen message before processing the transaction. You then have the option of cancelling the transaction. These fees are added to the withdrawal amount and paid directly to the ATM operator. For more information, see page 18 of the Service fees guide available at your caisse or at desjardins.com/fees.
  3. Fees also apply to transactions in $U.S. Build-Up Savings Accounts.
  4. Personal Chequing, Build-Up Savings and Professionals accounts.
  5. These charges are subject to the GST and QST (Quebec) or HST (Ontario).
  6. An overdraft is when your account is overdrawn, meaning that a cheque or pre-authorized payment is made when there are insufficient funds. In this case, the caisse may, at its discretion, advance you the sum necessary to complete the transaction.
  7. The available credit limit for an overdraft transfer, the card conditions, and the applicable credit and security rules may lead to service suspension. Details and conditions at www.desjardins.com/overdraft.
  8. Fees of $12.00 apply for each deposit or cashing of more than 1 item (cheque, money order or draft) if these items are in the same currency from the same country.
  9. Available only on AccèsD.
  10. Applicable fees are calculated on the transferred amount received, or, as the case may be, on the amount of Canadian currency resulting from the conversion of foreign currency. The conversion rate corresponds to market rates in effect at the time funds are received.
  11. Some correspondent banks may impose fees or additional charges, which will be deducted from the amount transferred.
