Scotiabank says it has identified a technical issue on Sunday where charges on customers’ credit cards are appearing mislabeled.
Faced with customer complaints online, the bank’s Twitter account wrote: “An issue has been identified where legitimate charges on your credit card are mislabeled as BNS Ins. We apologize for the inconvenience and hope to have a resolution soon. We will provide updates as we have them. Appreciate your patience.”

One customer complaint on Twitter said: “I have charges I did not authorize labeled under BNS Scotia Life Insurance. I did not purchase any such product from your company.”
In response, the bank confirmed it is “experiencing technical issues of purchases being mislabeled” and that a fix is in the works.
“Charges made Oct 18-20 somewhere else are showing up as BNS Scotia Life Insurance. Our teams are working on resolving the issues and corrections will be applied.”
