1. A chequing a/c will always have some fees, unless u take one that has a min. balance option [whenever u go below that bal. u'd have a huge penalty].

2. A savings a/c usually will be w/out any maintenance fees. But it could entail many hidden charges, especially for obtaining addnl banking products.

Dear Qorax

Kindly give me the name of the bank TD or scotia bank, one which charges no monthly fees. Thanks again

Banking Choices upon 'landing'

TD, Scotiabank & CIBC r the most favored banks here (TD, a shade better) - as they r present everywhere. We'd be hard pressed not to find either of the three in any/every town, even if it's remote. Moreover, these 3 bank's ATM machines could be found anywhere... not that we cannot use other's ATMs for w/drawing our monies - but, it'd add some addnl transaction charges [usually $2].

While RBC is the largest bank & BMO - the oldest bank of Canada -- however, they seem to have lagged behind the first 3 in marketing, especially with the newcomers. Nothing wrong with them either, but just that the other 3 r omnipresent - and prominently advertised too.

Besides, each of them have similar product bundles, some good in one aspect, while the other in something else. All the 3 also provide u a free safety locker for the 1st yr (only for newcomers). However, some of their branches might not have that facility.

NOTE:
Currently TD Bank has the 'longest operational' retail banking hrs. Its most branches operate for 12 hrs [from 8AM - 8PM] - yes, we can knock their doors @ 8PM for any of our 'personal' banking tasks!

1. I'm with TD... though had initially opened a Scotiabank a/c from overseas (but switched later for no serious reason).
2. TD gives me a savings, chequing & credit card bundle - with chequing having no monthly charges (for any transaction/s) while keeping a bal of $5K.
3. I'm also aware that they offer "unsecured" $1K credit card to every newcomer, which is preety good.

Dear Qorax,

What kind of bank account do you recommend I should open in TD bank in Toronto. I am looking for one which does not charge any money from me, where I would get a high interest on the money deposited in my account. Do I have to open a cheqing as well as savings account or can I just open a savings account? Also what type of credit card is preferred. I'd like your opinion on this.(I typed this twice, as my earlier statement had a typo problem)

Thank u very very much!
