Has anyone got anything good or bad to say about these online banks? They're both offering around 1.25-1.35% interest at the moment so whilst my partner is at her parents in BC for a couple more weeks, we're thinking about opening up an account with them as RBC are paying nought point nothing at the moment on her canadian savings. Thanks.

In my limited experience, I've found Tangerine very good to deal with and currently offering 2.25% - for a limited time of course. https://www.tangerine.ca/en/landing-page/earnmore
As a subsidiary of Scotia Bank, I feel they have better credentials than others.

I would concur about Tangerine. I moved all my accounts from TD last year and saved a lot on monthly fees. The only thing about Tangerine compared to TD is that I find their web banking and smart app much slower than TD.

EQ is very good. It offers a consistently high rate (compared to others). Very efficient. And they are teamed up with Wise for international transfers.

Tang HISA has a weird and irritating approach of sending promotional offers to selected few people every few months. Tang pays close to naught to anyone without a promotional deal. And the offer only impacts “new money”.

I wouldn’t exceed the $100K CDIC coverage per account with either Tang or EQ.

Neo is a new digital Fintech. Too new for my taste. RF thread on Neo: https://forums.redflagdeals.com/neo-...erest-2419766/
