Thanks for the fixes and feedback! I've added some notes regarding bill payments and I duplicated the bank names header. Unfortunately, the inability to "fix/freeze" the header rows in web output is a long-standing limitation of Google Docs.

It seems perfect. Thanks. I doubted about freezing the header but asked anyway. I'm glad that I could contribute.

Thanks Dennis for your feedback on the "Services" chart (and Peter for implementing the suggestions)! 
In regards to Canadian Direct Financial, is the activity fee for online bill payments with the high-interest savings account or with the KeyDirect Chequing when no minimum balance is maintained?
If it is the KeyDirect Chequing account, it's worth noting CDF has finally updated their website (as of this year) to offer it completely free of basic monthly, activity and certain transactional fees regardless of minimum balance. So, with that, as well as several other updates, I've updated the "free chequing" chart. 
Cheers,
Doug

Hi Doug,
The activity fee for bill payments at CDF is for when you have the high interest savings account only. Good to see that they've finally made the free chequing account (without a minimum balance) official!

hi Peter,
Yeah, exactly. They pretty much had to do that with ING Direct's THRiVE Chequing product and the same ATM network.
That's kind of what I thought - the activity fee for bill payments applying to the savings account only.
Cheers,
Doug

I see an omission in the chart. Implicity does offer chequing privileges with their HISA. The first 8 cheques are free, but there is a charge after that.
No minimum balance is required to open and maintain an Implicity High Interest Savings Account. We'll calculate the interest daily and pay it to you monthly, allowing you to watch your savings grow. Your money is always available to you and to make it easier, we offer chequing privileges and a debit card for ATM and Point-of-Sale access.
Cheques: (first order of cheques are free)**
4 Cheques $3.00
12 Cheques $7.00
24 Cheques $13.00

Thanks, Rick. I'm sure Peter will update this accordingly.
I should point out, though, that Implicity Financial's customer service is impeccable and, depending on the value of your holdings with them, members may be able to negotiate "one-off" deals like additional cheques for free. All you need to do is ask.
They will also provide free, unlimited, stamped bank authorization letters to use for EFT "linkages" eliminating the need to use any of your cheques for this purpose.
Cheers,
Doug

Thanks for pointing that out about Implicity. I've updated the chart to show that Implicity has chequing privileges and that the first 8 cheques are free.

Chart update request: Hubert now offers both RRSP and RRIF savings accounts and "GICs" (term deposits), ...and they also allow internal- and external-account "transfers", both in & out. Thanks!

Thanks! I've updated the chart now. However, do they have normal RRSP and RRIF savings accounts (instead of just GICs)? On their rates chart at least, I only see GIC rates.

Thanks! I was confused because... I had updated Oaken instead of Hubert!

I found two updates:
1. Canadian Direct Financial Bill Payment is free (Changed from 1 free per month to unlimited)
2. Achieva Financial has Mobile Banking including cheque deposit.
Sugggestion - I personally think Mobile cheque deposit is important so great to have its own rows in table. I don't remember but one of bank has Mobile Banking without it.

I have found the services chart to be very useful. Thank you.
Is this the appropriate place to point out errors e.g. Oaken Financial do offer GICs for TFSAs?
