Scotiabank vs. Tangerine Routing Numbers

This is a common source of confusion. Scotiabank owns Tangerine, but they are separate banking entities with different institution numbers:

BankInstitution NumberTransit NumberAccount Number
Scotiabank002Branch-specific (5 digits)7–12 digits
Tangerine614Assigned (not branch-based)10+ digits

If you have both a Scotiabank and a Tangerine account, you have two different routing numbers. Make sure you provide the correct one for the account you want money deposited into.

Finding Your Tangerine Routing Number

  1. Log in to Tangerine Online Banking
  2. Click “My Account” → “Account Details”
  3. Your transit number and institution number (614) are displayed
  4. You can download a void cheque as a PDF

Tangerine’s institution number is 614 and the transit number is typically 80001 for most accounts.

Scotiabank SWIFT Code

DetailValue
SWIFT/BIC codeNOSCCATT
Bank nameBank of Nova Scotia
CityToronto
CountryCanada (CA)

When receiving an international wire to your Scotiabank account, the sender needs:

  1. SWIFT code: NOSCCATT
  2. Your name (as it appears on the account)
  3. Transit number (5 digits)
  4. Account number (7–12 digits)
  5. Bank address: Scotiabank, Scotia Plaza, 44 King Street West, Toronto, ON M5H 1H1

International note: Scotiabank has a significant presence in the Caribbean and Latin America. If transferring between Scotiabank in Canada and a Scotiabank subsidiary abroad (e.g., Scotiabank Jamaica, Scotiabank Mexico), the SWIFT codes are different. Use NOSCCATT specifically for Canadian accounts.
