in cash across the five offers above, plus a $50 gift card. Add the optional bundles and the advertised maximums come to more, but bundles need extra products.

Every figure above was read on the provider's own page on 25 July 2026 and the source link takes you there. Offers and terms change without notice and eligibility rules often exclude current and recent clients. This page is information, not financial advice. Bremo may earn a commission when you open an account through some of our links, at no cost to you.

The other half of the truth

What we could not verify today

Most bonus lists quietly keep stale numbers on the page. Here is what we found when we actually checked, including the ones that pay nothing right now.

RBC

No chequing account cash bonus appears on RBC's own personal banking page today. The only RBC cash offer we can see is $50 when you deposit $500 into a first GoSmart account with RBC Direct Investing, which is an investing account, not a chequing account. Check rbcroyalbank.com

BMO

BMO's site did not return a page to our checks today, so we have no figure to give you. We would rather say that than repeat a number we cannot see. Check bmo.com

EQ Bank

EQ's everyday banking page advertises an interest rate on the Personal Account and a rate boost when you set up direct deposit. We did not find a cash signup bonus, so we are not listing one. Check eqbank.ca

Neo Financial

Neo's accounts page advertises no monthly fee on the Neo Chequing account and 1% cashback on gas and groceries when you add a Neo Money card. We did not find a cash signup bonus on that page. Check neofinancial.com

KOHO

KOHO's pricing page lists an Essential plan at $0 a month. It opens in minutes, which makes it a reasonable place to park a base account while you work through the bank offers above. We are not quoting a signup dollar figure we cannot verify on their page. See the offer

The method

How to actually collect these

The money is not the hard part. Staying inside the rules and the dates is.

1
Read the eligibility rule before you read the amount
These offers are for new clients. Scotiabank's terms exclude current and former chequing clients within the last two years. TD's exclude anyone who held a TD chequing account as of 3 June 2026 or took a TD chequing offer between 2024 and 2026. Check that first and you will not waste an application.
2
One big bank at a time
Every one of these needs a recurring direct deposit, and you only have one payroll. Running two at once usually means failing both. Finish one, collect, then start the next.
3
Check what each bank means by direct deposit
They are not the same requirement. Scotiabank asks for a recurring deposit that repeats monthly for six consecutive months. Simplii asks for $100 or more for three straight months. Tangerine asks for your full payroll, at least $200 a month, for two consecutive months. TD accepts any two of a direct deposit, an online bill payment, or a pre-authorized debit.
4
Put the deadline in your calendar, not the bonus
Four of the five offers have a hard date: 30 September, 1 October, 29 October and 31 October 2026. TD also has a second date, the qualifying activities have to be done by 2 December 2026. Missing a date is the most common way people lose one of these.
5
Read the holding period before you close the account
Bonus terms usually say how long the account has to stay open and how the bank pays out. Find that line in the terms on the bank's own page before you decide whether to keep the account, downgrade it, or close it.

Why we ask for your email

Fair question. The honest answer is that these offers expire. Four of the five above have a stated end date, and every one of those dates falls inside the next hundred days. A page you bookmark goes stale without telling you. An email does not.

So you get the playbook as a PDF you can keep, and a note from us when a tracked offer changes, ends, or a new one appears. That is the whole arrangement. One confirmation click to start, one click to leave.
