Tangerine / Orange Key Thread

[alicia]

Yep, Tangerine is great. Decent rates compared to big banks, no hidden fees. First order of cheques free. Can move money between savings accounts immediately (PC Financial requires a business day which is annoying).

The only "beef" I've had with them is that their chip on their card is smaller than normal chip cards, and I sometimes have to wiggle it a bit with the machines at stores. Not a big deal

I personally have been using Tangerine (well ING Direct Canada) for a very long time and it has been great. I actually recommended it in an article about two days ago. You can't go wrong in my opinion.

Best chequing account in Canada, especially now with Scotiabank access and cheque-in feature. The savings rates aren't that competitive unless there is a promotion running.

I find thesedays their rates are not as good as before , since Scotia took over .

Much better rates elsewhere

Nothing to do with Scotia, they haven't been competitive long before the acquisition. That being said they do have a 2% 1 YR GIC, if you try and transfer our over 10k online..

Its a referral bonus. If someone opens an account with your Orange key , both you & the new account holder gets a referral bonus of $ 25 each.

But some other bonuses can't be stacked or combined with the Orange key , so check the fine print..you might not be able to double dip.

hmmm. interesting. thanks for the info.

The only downfall i find is that if you are in a rural area alot of the "Exchange" networks that dont charge for accessing the account via other banks ATM machines are not closeby.

Yes, it's what tjthemanto mentioned. There aren't always offers of up to $150 available like now, so if you open your account with $100 you get a bonus $25, and so does the person whose Orange Key you used.
