Why is 1-888-379-9040 calling me?
1-888-379-9040 is Scotiabank's own number. When Scotiabank calls you itself, your account is usually still with Scotiabank and hasn't been passed to a collection agency.
They may be calling because:
- A payment on your account is late or missed
- They need to talk to you about your account
- They're trying to reach someone else and have the wrong number
Dealing with Scotiabank now, before the account is sent to a collection agency, can make it easier to agree a payment plan.
