:O I get 5% on my instant access savings account and I can move money to and from it whenever I like for free! The current account that goes with that pays 0.5 - 3% depending on how much you put in every month.

Canada may be fabulous in other ways, but I'm not impressed by its banking.

I think if you join a credit union you have to buy stocks in order to become a member. So its like "by the people, for the people".

look guys it's easy.

go to your nearest casino, put all your money on black, and watch it double. then walk away and spend it all on booze, fancy clothes, and a scion.

I always joke with my girlfriend that I'm going to do that (minus the booze and I don't even know what a scion is...). She gets mad at me and says she won't allow me to become a gambler haha

They use CIBC bank machines and their internet banking is the easiest thing I've ever seen. I used to be at TD but I switched over because they kept charging for stupid things and had a swipe limit and all that jazz. Now presidents choice is the best.

PC banking all the way. It's awesome. Plus, you gain points (much the same way as HBC points) and also receive discounts on groceries

I love my PC account. You do not pay for anything. literally nothing. It really is the best banking choice for students.

PC is logical, it's close...

Posted: **6/5/2005, 7:11 pm**

I've never heard of PC. President's choice is like...cheap yogurt, not a bank!

I also use the lovely bank of montreal, and pay nil. Apperently once I turn nineteen, I might have to, but I have several thousand in my account, so maybe not. meh.

Posted: **6/5/2005, 7:18 pm**

Yeah, youth accounts are always free, as far as I know.

Posted: **6/5/2005, 7:28 pm**

I use National Bank just because it's closest to my home so it's more convenient. I'm happy with it.

Yay! I have a bank buddy!

Besides, who needs these 'bank tellers' anyway?

All the major Canadian banks are pretty much the same thing for savings accounts. I have a Royal Bank and Scotia account, the Scotia one is more student-friendly but the Royal Bank is better for me because it's easier to find. This isn't a big decision in the slightest.

I actually saw on the news that some guy sold everything he owned (house, clothes, furniture...) and ended up with $125,000 or something like that and went to Vegas, bought a suit and put it all on black and doubled his life lol
