Hello Fanie?
Feel free to write to us here https://bit.ly/2BaEDp5, would we be happy to watch this with you??
Good morning,
I completed the procedure online before my departure.
I did not receive a call to set the appointment at the branch
but I made an appointment at a branch via the BNC website.
During the appointment, the counselor did not take into account my online approach
and created an account for me.
So, I was not entitled to the $100 promotion.
Can I continue the procedure carried out online by resuming another appointment at the branch?
Thank you in advance for your answer.
Hello Suzie, feel free to write us a private message or contact us on Facebook Messenger, so we can watch this with you??

Good morning,
I opened an account at the BNC and I did not get the $100 corresponding to the offer for newcomers.
Can you tell me how to proceed to receive this amount?
@vanessa I PMed you but no response
Good morning,
I just answered you in PM!
Good day,
Hello, I have just arrived in VANCOUVER, I opened my newcomer account via the link before my departure to France to be able to take advantage of the offers.
I had my appointment at the branch when I arrived, everything went well. Only when I asked my adviser if the offers of PVTISTES.NET were indeed in force he answered me this:
You have subscribed to the newcomers package which gives you up to 3 years free of charge under the following conditions:
Open an account and sign up for online banking
Direct deposit of the salary, at the latest months after the opening of the account, into a bank account
Apply for MasterCard and approved by MasterCard
These conditions do not appear on your site do they?
My credit card application was declined I only have a debit card, does that mean I can’t take advantage of the offer?
And to receive the $100 he sent me your link, but I’ve already done this.. I don’t understand and I feel like I’ve been tricked somewhere.. Can you tell me? help please? It’s not at all clear…
Thanks in advance.
Tiphaine
