Programs and published requirements

Compare the specific program and legal funding entity on your offer. Advertised limits and minimums do not guarantee eligibility or your price.

Current status and where to go

Legal transition
CWB and National Bank continued as one bank under National Bank of Canada following amalgamation on March 1, 2025.
Customer migration
National Bank reports the migration of CWB clients and products complete, including business banking and equipment-finance divisions.
Current financing
Use National Bank’s current business-financing information and confirm the applicable agreement. Legacy CWB rates or product names may no longer describe a new offer.

When it may fit

Our assessment of the published programs

  • An existing CWB customer or someone checking an older CWB recommendation.

What to weigh carefully

  • CWB and National Bank are not independent options for a lender comparison.
  • Do not assume legacy borrowing terms apply to a new application.

Questions before you accept an offer

  1. Which National Bank team now handles my borrowing relationship?
  2. Which agreement governs my existing facility and renewal?
  3. What current financing product replaces the old CWB offering?

Ask for written terms. Compare net cash received, total repayment, fees, payment timing and early-payoff costs for the same financing need.

Prepare your comparison

Use the same questions and figures for each offer you receive.

Alternatives to research

These are options for a related financing need, not a ranking or a claim of equivalent eligibility or pricing.

National Bank

The current bank following the CWB amalgamation, rather than an independent alternative.

Royal Bank of Canada

Research RBC if seeking an independent bank comparison.
