Make the most of your Manulife Bank Select
Congratulations on your new Manulife Bank Select mortgage!
You’ve customized your mortgage to meet your monthly cash flow and lifestyle needs, while still paying down your debt. But did you know you can also take advantage of prepayment privileges to become debt-free even sooner?
If you have a closed-term mortgage, take advantage of one or both of these prepayment options:
- Make an annual lump-sum payment of up to 20% of your original mortgage amount
- Once per year, increase your regular mortgage payments by up to 25%1
If you have an open-term mortgage, you can prepay any amount at any time, including the full principal. You can also increase your regular payment by any amount once in each year of the term, without incurring a prepayment charge.
To make a prepayment, call us at 1-877-765-2265.
Tip: find out more about your mortgage in the Manulife Bank Select Client Guide (PDF).
Most of us assume our mortgage will cost a lot and take a long time to repay. But here’s a secret: it doesn’t have to. Your Manulife Bank mortgage has a super-power: prepayment privileges. Here’s how you can pay off your mortgage sooner and save thousands in interest.
Your high-interest bank account
When you opened your Manulife Bank Select, you didn’t just get a mortgage, but a high-interest bank account too.
- Put your money to work: have your pay automatically deposited into your Select bank account to get the most out of your money, and get free banking when you keep a balance of just $5,000. To set up direct deposit, give your employer your direct deposit form, which you can download and print from online banking after you sign in.
- Choose your account from the home page
- Select Direct deposit form (PDF) under More.
- Manage your money with ease: using your Select bank account for all your everyday banking needs makes it easy to track expenses, bills, and pre-authorized payments.
- Earn more interest: holding cash in other chequing or savings accounts? Move that money into your Select bank account to earn high interest and help eliminate any fees the other accounts charge.
Bank your way
Manage your Manulife Bank Select mortgage and bank account using our mobile app, online banking, or by calling us at 1-877-765-2265. And of course, you can use your bank card to get cash from thousands of ATMs across Canada, to make Interac® Debit purchases, and to get in-store cash back at participating retailers.
Daily withdrawal/transaction limits
Here are the default daily limits for different transaction types:
- ATM withdrawals: $1,200/day
- Point of sale/debit transactions, including in-store cash back: $3,000/day
- Outgoing transfers: $50,000
- Interac e-Transfer®: $3,000/transfer, $3,000/day, $10,000/week, and $20,000/month
These apply to most people, however, there are situations where individual limits may be different. Our limits are in place for your protection and to comply with regulations. If you have questions about your transaction limits or need to exceed that limit, give us a call.
Flexible fee options
We all bank differently, which is why your Select back account has two fee packages. And if you keep a balance of at least $5,000, we’ll waive the monthly or transaction fees.
- Flat fee: use your card for everything? Get unlimited transactions for just $16.95/month ($9.95 if you’re 60 or older)*
- Pay-per-transaction: don’t do much banking? Only pay for the transactions you use (plus get some for free!)
Want to change your fee package? Call us at 1-877-765-2265.
*The monthly fee includes 3 free Interac e-Transfer transactions per month. Learn more about Manulife Bank Select fees here.
