Payment Reset for Investment Loans, RSP Loans and TFSA Loans

To ensure that ongoing loan commitments are met, the monthly payment amount on any Investment Loan, RSP Loan or TFSA Loan may be reset1 to align with the applicable changes to the B2B Bank Prime Rate or B2B Bank Alternative Rate.2

Going forward, we will review payment amounts on a quarterly basis, adjust them as needed and provide confirmation in the clients’ account statements.

Keeping your clients informed

To provide an opportunity to discuss this with your affected clients, we will be providing a personalized letter for each of your clients’ impacted loans, including their new payment3 amount.

  1. Payment reset is an adjustment in your payment amount to account for changes in the B2B Bank Prime Rate or B2B Bank Alternative Rate.
  2. B2B Bank Prime Rate means the annual interest rate announced by B2B Bank from time to time as being its reference prime rate then in effect (the "Prime Rate"). B2B Bank’s Alternative Rate means the annual interest rate announced by B2B Bank from time to time as being the reference alternative rate then in effect (the "Alternative Rate"). All rates may fluctuate from time to time and are subject to change without prior notice.
  3. The amount will be calculated based on the assumption that payments are received as expected and no additional payments are sent to B2B Bank.
