Which Bank Do You Use?

[Redguard]

I'm looking into signing up with a new bank. So I'm curious, who do you use?

 

[Redguard]

I'm currently using CIBC, but only because it's a staff account. Otherwise, I'd never be a CIBC customer.

I find CIBC to be really old fashioned with the way they process customer transactions in branches. This leads to lineups being REALLY long and slow to move.

Credit Union

We're with RBC, but only out of laziness. Their fees are outrageous, and they've messed up our account more times than I can count.

We have a friend who signed up with Presidents Choice Financial, and he loves it. He gets Superstore points for using his PC Mastercard, and every month earns free groceries. And there are no fees. So... Yeah. We would totally switch, except we have so many direct withdrawls coming out it would be a major chore to switch them all.

Royal Bank

Royal Bank, CIBC, and TD. What can I say, my interests are smeared about.

I have back accounts at a credit union, RBC, and TD. Each one has something different to offer and I don't want all my eggs put into one basket! lol

 

[kwanseemun]

lol i'm the same as Bluelighted...i think...or at least my parents are lol....i don't really know much about banks considering i'm only 14, but i know my parents have money in Bank of Montreal, RBC and maybe somewhere else but those are the two that i know of....but the main one they use is bank of Montreal...

I use TD because they offer some good deals for being a youth and that is where my mom has her account... I think it is moslt a matter of convience... the odd thing is that there is a CIBC like 5 blocks away and the closest TD is like 15 minutes driving...

I use the Bank Of me myself and I. I got a student Loan my First year of college from The Royal Bank and then they started taking money out of my account illegally for my loan and not giving it to the gov't like they said they were doing. After that I switched to CIBC and this year they refused to let me take money out of my account b/c of a hold on the account by the gov't,that the Gov't said they didn't have on my account. I was laid off from work in dec 2003 then was on ei for 8 months. When I finally got a job the stupid bank took my paycheque from my employer and instead of putting it in my account they gave my 1st 3 paycheques to the gov't for my student loan. So needless to say I'm downright angry with CIBC and Royal banks. ~Alec

Credit Union baby...... I think that the anti-corporate rheotric can get a bit extreme at times.... but banks really are evil.

I use the Mennonite Savings and Credit Union (and unless you're from southwestern Ontario I bet you have never heard of it!!)

I've also used CIBC in the past, cuz they had a pretty good student account, and they have bank machines on my campus. But, my credit union won out on best interest rate for student loans!

I'm familiar with Mennonite Savings... they're around the London area, right? I had to study and report on Credit Unions all over Canada in my last job.

 

[Maeyken]

Ya, I think they have a branch somewhere near there. Cool that you've heard of it!

TDC, but I was originally a Canada Trust customer.

I'm with both the TD and the CIBC. I've always been with the TD and am happy with them. I'm only with the CIBC because my boss deals with them and set me up an account there that he direct deposits into. I transfer everything from there into the TD.

Technically I also deal with the Bank of Montreal because all of my investments are with Nesbitt Burns, which is owned by the BoM.
