Scotiabank 10-year fixed mortgage rate.
Today’s best 10-year fixed in our network is 5.14%. We access Scotiabank’s broker-channel pricing — typically 15-30 bps below posted — and compare it across 50+ lenders.
Scotiabank’s best 10-year fixed rate today is approximately 5.14% through the broker channel — about $3,302/month on a $700,000 home with 20% down over 25 years. A 10-year fixed is the longest lock in Canada — a decade of payment certainty for the truly rate-averse. The branch rate is rarely Scotiabank’s best — the broker channel typically runs 15-30 bps lower.

The 10-year fixed with Scotiabank
Who it suits. Borrowers who want to eliminate renewal and rate risk for ten years and are willing to pay for it — typically people in a forever home, on a fixed income, or who simply value certainty over saving a few basis points.
What drives the rate. Priced off the 10-year bond, it carries the highest premium of any term because the lender holds the rate longest. It only makes mathematical sense when long rates are unusually low relative to shorter terms.
Breaking it early. A key Canadian protection applies: after five years, federal law limits the prepayment penalty to three months' interest — so a 10-year fixed becomes far cheaper to break once you pass year five.
How Scotiabank prices the broker channel
Industry leader on newcomer mortgages via Scotia StartRight — among the most flexible major banks for permanent residents and work-permit holders. Strong investment-property lender with the Scotia STEP readvanceable program.
Scotiabank runs two 10-year fixed rate sheets: the posted/branch rate and a wholesale broker-channel rate a licensed brokerage accesses, usually 15-30 bps lower because the broker handles origination. You can’t reach it by walking into a branch. On a $700,000 mortgage, 20 bps is roughly $1,400 a year.

A worked example
On a $700,000 home with 20% down, the mortgage is $560,000. At Scotiabank’s best 10-year fixed rate of 5.14% over a 25-year amortization, the payment is about $3,302/month. Walk into a branch at the posted rate (~15-30 bps higher) and you’d pay $50-100 more a month for the identical mortgage — which is exactly what the broker channel saves.
