Best bank account in Quebec (similar to Starling in the UK)

[HTS_QC]

Hi,

I will move from the UK to the province of Quebec and I would like to open an online bank account that offer the following (basically something very similar to Starling in the UK):

- no monthly fees just to keep the account open
- no cash ATM withdrawal fees
- no debit/credit card monthly/annual fees
- no debit/credit card transaction fees
- no direct debit fees
- fee-free spending abroad
- fee-free cash ATM withdrawal abroad
- online cheque deposits

Does it exist in Quebec a bank like this? Ideally brick and mortar, but online only would be fine too as long as they have good customer service.

I would also like to know, bank accounts and cell phone packages both very expensive.

Will partially depend on what your credit limit and how large your deposit it. Don’t think you’ll be able to get your full list. ATM fees are usually dependent on you using your own bank’s atm. ATM fees abroad usually depends on whether your bank belongs to a network and whether the other country has banks in the network.
