3. The ATB Financial FY27 Registered Deposit Offer (the “Offer”) runs from October 19, 2026, to March 1, 2027 (the “Offer Period”). By participating in this Offer, eligible clients can earn a one-time cash bonus ranging from $100 to $10,000 depending on the cumulative net value of external funds transferred into eligible ATB Daily Interest (DI) registered accounts during the Offer Period, subject to the conditions outlined below. Transfer requests must be formally initiated through ATB (via an ATB team member) between October 19, 2026, and March 1, 2027, and received by ATB no later than March 31, 2027, to qualify. Clients transferring funds into DI registered accounts may also allocate or move those funds into an eligible Guaranteed Investment Certificate (GIC) while remaining eligible for the Cash Bonus. 

   Eligibility Criteria

   This Offer is open to Canadian residents who have reached the age of majority in Alberta and hold a new or existing eligible ATB Registered Daily Interest account. Eligible DI account types include Tax-Free Saver Account, Registered Retirement Savings Plan Daily Interest Account, First Home Savings Account and Locked In Retirement Account.

   To qualify for a Cash Bonus, clients must transfer a minimum cumulative net amount of $10,000 (across up to four eligible DI accounts) in registered funds from one or multiple external financial institutions into up to four (4) eligible ATB DI account types during the Offer Period.

Clients are solely responsible for monitoring their personal CRA contribution and transfer limits across all registered plans. ATB Financial assumes no responsibility or liability for any tax penalties or excess contribution charges incurred.

   Active Chequing Account Banking Requirements

   To receive the Cash Bonus payout, qualifying clients must open or maintain any active ATB chequing account in good standing at the time of bonus distribution.

The final Cash Bonus amount will be calculated based on the net cumulative value of eligible transferred funds remaining in the account through February 29, 2028 (total qualifying external transfers-in minus any withdrawals or external transfers-out made during the offer and retention period). If withdrawals reduce the cumulative net amount below $10,000, the client will be disqualified from receiving a Cash Bonus.

   The Cash Bonus and any applicable $150 transfer fee reimbursement will be combined and will be credited directly to the client's active ATB chequing account as a single, one-time lump-sum payment between March 1, 2028, and March 31, 2028. Early payouts will not be issued prior to this set period. Limit of one (1) Cash Bonus payout per client, provided all qualification criteria conditions are met. Offer cannot be combined with any other promotional deposit or transfer offers unless explicitly authorized by ATB Financial.
