So far in 2026, there have been no rate changes on the savings accounts we track. In fact, the last change was at the end of November, and that was when Saven Financial increased its savings account, TFSA, and RRSP interest rate to 2.85%, which is still the non-promotional rate leader.
If you’re a rate chaser, you might have moved your money for the latest targeted promo for existing customers at Tangerine, which is 4.25% on new deposits between March 4 and May 31, 2026. Or you can get as high as 4.80% on some of the short-term promotions we track.

Follow along as she shares her thoughts on building a strong financial foundation in your 20s, including what she’s learned about saving, investing, compounding, the TFSA, and more.
