Savings account
Does anyone know of a decent savings account with easy access that pays better than 1.5%? Is there some way of comparing online, like money supermarket but canadian?
Is it just me or are there no comparison engines at all? Am beginning to quietly despair..... We are in BC if that makes any difference.

Not come across a comparison site............have a look at an ING savings account, but most of the bank ones are fairly low

I just opened an rbc tax free savings account. Lot's of providers are pushing TFSA's at the moment.

I'm very glad I moved all my RRSPs into a rolling GIC last year. The longer-term bits are paying better than 4.5%.

I found this warning to check the small print --

Apparently it looks as if things often appear better than they really are.
