    Interface (online, telephone, in-person, etc.): Rated 1 / 5 stars

    How long have you banked with them?: 5 months

    Why do you bank with them?: Initial high rate promotion

    What do you like about this bank / credit union?: Nothing except the initial rate

    What could be improved about this bank / credit union?: Everthing. Messed up my accounts type. Never got back to me after complaints about their mistakes. I had to doggedly pursue them to get corrections. Website non-sensical. Eg. You want a new gic in an account. It is not a new gic...it is a "new account".

    General comments: Customer service people nice enough but do not follow up. I would think the management and training are the problem. I will likely withdraw my funds when term is up.
