We saw this and couldn’t help tossing in our two cents … plus 1.50% interest ;) Are you paying a monthly fee for a bank to hold on to your money? We don’t charge those. We have a Schedule I banking license so, yup, we’re a real CDIC insured bank. 1/2
Want to save like a pro but don't know where to start? Try the 50/30/20 rule! By putting 20% of your after tax pay each month towards savings and debt repayment it can help you curb your spending on unnecessary items and grow your savings account for the future!
Is 2.00% interest is still a good interest rate right now? You bet it is. EQ's SVP of Digital Banking and Strategy, Mahima Poddar, spoke with

Well, that's nice Doreen*, but a lot has changed since then.
