Yes, big $$$$ get the better services/interest rates. Last month's promo of getting a free name-brand tablet depended on new-to-the-(national)bank customers wanting to pay $25 per month for the account fees and meeting the minimum requirements of use as well as length of time of keeping account in use.
I have not seen 7% in the banks for deposits--but credit card interest rates can be 11-29%. Seems it's a miracle to walk into a bank branch and see a rate of more than 2% per annum (per year) on savings accounts posted on the board.
The actor who used to say "save your money" really had a good line that applies to each of our own finances. If there is money to save after all...Last edited by Ciel; Sat, Aug 23rd, 2014 at 09:47 PM.

I am sure they know exactly how to lure many people in just the same way carnivals do it. It is sad that we do not suspect a bank will participate using those tactics but now you know they do.

I remember in the late 80's had double digit interest rates... not so anymore. That really helped my savings account when going through school.
You need to look at mutual funds/investments to get those returns now.
One thing they don't tell you.... make 2%? Half goes to Revenue Canada and the other half goes to inflation. Sad Panda.

Don't forget that the money makers for banks is not the fees they charge for you to get your money. That's why they want to lure you into opening accounts with them. Historically (thirty years ago and before), the amount of loans they could give out was based on how many deposits they had, so they tried to bring customers by giving favourable rates.
