Hey @MCB11,
The security deposit is held on your account for 12 months after the activation. On the first billing cycle after the 12-month period, the system determines the refund eligibility based on your account history.
If your account is eligible for a refund, the deposit will be released towards your account balance. If ever your account is not eligible, a re-evaluation is processed on a monthly basis until the deposit can be released.
The security deposit is also automatically released in the following scenarios:
Hope this helps!

Hi, its my 12th year in fido and the guy told me i can get my $150 deposit back after a year.. how can i get it back now?
Hey @Zanne,
I have moved your post in this thread as it is about the same subject. You'll find the details are provided by Claudia.
Interesting we wait for 12 months then Fido decides we get the deposit back? The sales guy stated 6 months. A lie?
Hey @Ophone
Security deposits are refunded after a 12 month period, and under the conditions in the solution provided by @FidoClaudia, above in the thread.
If something else was explained to you during the activation of your line, you can always contact us and we'll be happy to go over everything!
Hello I was told a different time or period (3months) for the deposit to be refunded to me. The sales representative at the time was a guy named Shakir. I also have more information about the contract and would like talk more about the issue, please and thank you.

Hello,
I have paid 200$ last year as a security deposit for my phone plan and they said if every bill is paid on time, it'll be retuned in a year.
I wanted to know when will I get it back and whether I can choose to have it deposited into my bank account instead of credit for bill payment.
Thank you

I've moved your post to a similar thread, so you can find the information you need!
It's also good to note that the refund is always done towards your Fido account balance.
