Tangerine vs. Scotiabank: Branch Access Difference

Scotiabank customers have access to ~950 branches nationwide. Tangerine customers (Scotiabank’s direct banking subsidiary) have access to only 4 Tangerine Cafés — but full access to Scotiabank’s ~3,500 ABMs for cash.

If you value in-person branch access, Scotiabank’s fee structure is justified. If you primarily need ATM access and digital banking, Tangerine provides the same ATM network at $0/month.
