Frequently Asked Questions

How much does the Evolvespire All-In Banking Package cost?

The Evolvespire 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.

Are both the Everyday Banking Account and High-Interest Savings Account eligible for CDIC (Canadian Deposit Insurance Corporation) coverage?

Yes! Evolvespire 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.

Do I need to take all the products in the package?

When you apply for the Evolvespire 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.

How is my available balance calculated?

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

What are Savings Sweeps? How do they work?

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!

How can I manage the Savings Sweep feature between the Everyday Banking Account and the High-Interest Savings Account?

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.

What’s secured overdraft?

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.

How does repayment of the secured overdraft work?

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.

Are my login credentials for mobile banking and online banking the same?

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

Can both account-holders access e-statements?

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.

Can I access the amount I deposit right away?

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:

	Minimum (business days)	Maximum (business days)
Cheques or Electronic Funds Transfers (EFTs) from another Canadian bank or financial institution
$1,500 or less	2	5
More than $1,500	2	8

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 Evolvespire Bank account.

Can I get both e-statements and paper statements?

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 also 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. Your e-statement will be available online for two years from the statement date.

Can I send money to someone outside Canada?

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

Can I set up a pre-authorized cheque (PAC)?

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 Evolvespire Bank account, you can use the Link External Accounts function to do so.

Can I use ATMs outside Canada?

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

Do you have any promotions?

Great question! Visit evolvespire.com for information on any current promotions.

How can I avoid fees?

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

How can I find a copy of a cheque?

You can request a copy of a cheque by calling us at . Note that a fee may apply.

What happens when my access card expires?

If you use your access card, we’ll send you a new card in the mail before your current one expires. If you haven’t used your card in a long time, we’ll reach out by e-mail or direct mail and let you know that you have 30 days to make an in-person purchase or use an ATM to receive a new card. Otherwise, we won’t automatically send you a new one.

If you’d like a new access card even if you haven’t used your current one in a long time, just Contact Support. We’ll mail a new card to you right away.

How do I add and pay a new bill?

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.

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.

How do I add or remove a joint owner on my bank account?

What is in-store cash back?

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.

Can I get cash back at a store?

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 Evolvespire Bank debit card.

What identification do I need to open an account at Evolvespire Bank?

Before we can open any new account, Evolvespire 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.

How do I direct deposit my income into my account?

To set up direct deposit, log into your online account and choose “print a void cheque” in the main menu. Then, give the void cheque and this direct deposit form to your payroll manager.

How do I exchange money?

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 Evolvespire 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.

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.

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.

How do I select e-statements?

Switching to e-statements is a great way to reduce your impact on the environment. To make the switch, log into online banking, choose View Statements from the left-hand menu, then, select Statement Preferences.

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

When sending an Interac e-Transfer, you’ll have you 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 recipient directly or through a safe channel, and don’t include any hints or clues in the Interac e-Transfer message field.

How do I set up tap on my card?

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.

What do I do when gas stations in the U.S. ask for a zip code?

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 Evolvespire Bank debit card or EvolvespireMONEY+^TM Visa* credit card.

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.

What kind of cheques can I deposit?

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 Evolvespire 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 Evolvespire Bank account.

What should I do with my cheque once I’ve completed a mobile deposit?

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 will my bill payment be made?

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.

When will my tax slips be delivered?

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 online 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@evolvespire.com with your request. Don't forget to include your account number.

You can also call us at , and we can take your request over the phone.

Where can I find a Evolvespire Bank ATM?

As a Evolvespire 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.

Why are my funds are on hold?

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 , or send an email with your current email, name and account number to mybank@evolvespire.ca.

Why can't I find a bill payee?

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.

Why can’t I see some transactions in my history?

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.

Why is my cheque image not being accepted?

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.

Why don't I see a deposit I made earlier today?

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.

How can I reactivate my dormant account?

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 with an Interac e-Transfer or bank-to-bank transfer.

How do I pay off more of my debt?

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 Evolvespire 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 Evolvespire One or Evolvespire Bank Select mortgage, Contact Support at and we'd be happy to help.

How do I unlock my card?

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

How do I update my contact information?

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

If you have a EvolvespireMONEY+ 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.

How do you calculate premiums on balance protection?

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.

How is interest calculated on my statement?

For EvolvespireMONEY+ 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.

How is my credit limit determined?

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 EvolvespireMONEY+ Visa credit card, Contact Support at 1-844-323-7053. Note that you'll need to wait six months after your account has been activated before requesting an increase.

How long will it take to receive my card?

You should receive your EvolvespireMONEY+ 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 Contact Support at 1-844-323-7053.

How much could I save in cash back in a year with a EvolvespireMONEY+ Visa card?

Your EvolvespireMONEY+ 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.

My credit card is expiring, and I haven’t received my new card yet. When will I receive my new card?

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.

What do I do if I lost my card?

It's no fun to lose your card, but we can help. If you've lost your EvolvespireMONEY+ 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.

What do I need to do when I receive my new card?

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!

What if I miss a minimum payment?

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:

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.

What is balance protection?

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.

View the benefits of balance protection.

Job loss due to resignation or seasonal employment

Disability or critical illness diagnosed before your coverage starts

What should I do with my old card when I get a new card?

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

When does my balance protection coverage start and end?

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

The date you ask Evolvespire 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 Evolvespire cancels your credit card account or revokes your rights and privileges on the card
The date of your death
The date Evolvespire 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 Evolvespire Bank credit card.

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

Why do I still have interest when I paid my overdue statement in full?

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 EvolvespireMONEY+ Visa Card cardholder agreement for more information.

How do I know if I'm using my Evolvespire One account correctly?

Evolvespire 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 Evolvespire 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.

Making a payment to your Evolvespire One account is easy. All you need to do is deposit money into your account. We encourage you to deposit your income into your Evolvespire 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

How early can I renew my mortgage?

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

How is my minimum payment calculated?

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

How long will it take to receive my mortgage increase?

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.

How much can I afford to pay for a house?

These include things like how much you’ve saved for a down payment, your household income and your monthly expenses.

I sent in a discharge request, when will I get the statement?

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

I'm concerned about interest rates rising, what are my options?

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 Evolvespire 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 Evolvespire 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 to speak to a Mortgage Specialist if you'd like to discuss this option.

What are your current rates?

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

What documents do you need for my mortgage increase?

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.

What happens if I go over my Evolvespire One account limit?

If you've exceed the borrowing limit for your Evolvespire 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 so we can discuss your situation.

What is a sub-account?

Sub-accounts are a feature of your Evolvespire 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.

What is Evolvespire One?

Evolvespire 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 Evolvespire One mortgage.

What is readvanceable?

You may have heard the terms "readvanceable" and "non-readvanceable" with regards to Evolvespire One sub-accounts. A sub-account is simply a way of splitting off a portion of your Evolvespire 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 Evolvespire 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.

What will my mortgage payments be?

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.

How do I direct deposit my income into my account?

To set up direct deposit, log into your online account and choose “print a void cheque” in the main menu. Then, give the void cheque and this direct deposit form to your payroll manager.

How do I see the total interest paid on my Evolvespire One?

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

Where do I send a discharge request to?

How do I pay off more of my debt?

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 Evolvespire 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 Evolvespire One or Evolvespire Bank Select mortgage, Contact Support at and we'd be happy to help.

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.

How do I pay my bills?

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.

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.

Can I store more than one access number in the mobile app?

Yes! You can store up to 20 access numbers in the mobile app. Just turn on the 'Remember me' function when you log in.

Can I download the app if I’m outside of Canada and the U.S.?

No, you must be in either Canada or the U.S. to download our mobile app. If you're travelling out of the country, make sure to download the app before you leave.

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.

You can also add a new recipient to your list from the Interac e-Transfer action by selecting ‘Add a recipient’ from the drop-down menu.

How long will it take for a payee to receive my bill payment?

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 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.

How do I know if a recipient has accepted my Interac e-Transfer?

You can set-up only a single user but can make tax payments from multiple Evolvespire Bank accounts. If you enrolled multiple accounts, you can choose the account from which you wish to make a payment within the tax payment portal. Contact us to add accounts or request account changes.

Can I change which Evolvespire Bank business account gets debited for tax payment transactions?

Yes. If you enrolled multiple Evolvespire business accounts, you may choose which one gets debited within the portal. Please refer to the user guide for further assistance.

I cannot complete a tax account registration or set up a payment. Where can I get help?

Please refer to the user guide for instructions on account registration and set up of a payment. If you cannot resolve your issue in that way, contact TELUS at 1-800-206-9444 for assistance, between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. ET, Monday to Friday.

I paid my tax bill on the exact date it was due. Why am I being charged a late payment penalty?

Payments are processed early in the morning on the payment date. Payments entered on the due date are therefore considered late, and subject to government penalties. To avoid late payment penalties, you must make payments no later than midnight of the last business day before the due date. For further clarification, contact TELUS at 1-800-206-9444, between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. ET, Monday to Friday.

I made a mistake and need to cancel a tax payment right away. What do I do?

If your payment has not yet been processed, you can cancel it. Within the portal, you’ll find links to a user guide and answers to Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) on the Registered payments and accounts screen. These online resources provide instructions on cancellations. If you cannot resolve your issue in that way, contact TELUS at 1-800-206-9444 for assistance, between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. ET, Monday to Friday.

I made a mistake and paid the wrong government agency or paid too much in taxes. How can I fix this?

If your payment has not yet been processed, you can cancel it. Follow the steps outlined in the “View or cancel future-dated transactions” section of the portal’s online user guide. Contact TELUS at 1-800-206-9444 if you need assistance, between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. ET, Monday to Friday. If the payment has already been processed, you must contact the government agency to which you made the incorrect payment directly.

Will my tax payments appear in my bank statements and transactions online?

Yes, each bill payment will appear as a single line item, “Fed/Prov Tax Payment”, on the day the payment was made, while enrollment and transaction fees will appear as a consolidated line item “Business Tax Payment Fee”. Note the fees may not be charged on the same day as the transaction.

I forgot my user ID or password for the tax payment and filing service. How can I sign in?

You can reset your own password at any time by clicking I forgot my password at the top of the portal sign in screen. You’ll receive a new password at the email address entered in your profile. Contact TELUS at 1-800-206-9444 for assistance with your user ID.

What happens to the service if I close my Evolvespire Bank account?

There are no maintenance costs or dormancy fees associated with this service; it will be terminated automatically if you choose to close your Evolvespire Bank business account. Note that any post-dated payments will be void upon cancellation of the service.
