Meridian Spring 2026 New Chequing Account $500 Cash Bonus Offer (Ontario Resident only)

In my scenario, the bonus is equivalent to ~43% return at the end of 7 consecutive months.

Open a Senior Every Day Chequing Package
Maintain the $2,000 min balance to waive the $9 package fee.
Meets all the Offer Requirements

$2,000 x 42.85% annually /12 month x7 = ~$500
