Canadian High Interest Savings Bank Accounts

Hi I'm just curious why Manulife Bank is not included in the comparison charts.

They're at 1.75% right now & they're 100% CDIC. Is that still not competitive enough?

Thanks!

Hi Peter,

I was previously one of the opponents to having Manulife's account added to the "chart" due to uncompetitive rates and/or it being an "all-in-one" chequing/savings/mortgage account. However, with their Advantage Savings Account being separate from the Manulife All-in-One account, coupled with it offering rates better than ICICI Bank, ING Direct and PC Financial, I am now in favour of re-adding (or adding, as the correct case may be) Manulife Advantage Savings Account.

Separately, with the distinction in the "chart" of those offering Internet banking facilities, I have moved from "opposed" to "neutral" to adding Bridgewater's high-interest savings account, if there is support for it to be added. My preference remains to remove Peoples Trust from the chart due to no Internet banking facilities; however, if that's not going to happen, Bridgewater should be added out of fairness.

Cheers,
Doug
