Motive Financial already had the top regular savings account interest rate on our comparison chart but widened its lead even further on April 17 with an increase from 3.80% to 4.10%.
Elsewhere, we’ve seen only decreases, which marks a definite trend:
- MAXA Financial from 3.35% to 2.95%
- Saven Financial from 3.75% to 3.50%
- AcceleRate Financial and Hubert Financial from 3.35% to 3.30% (and from 3.45% to 3.35% for their TFSAs)
- Ideal Savings TFSA from 3.75% to 3.55%, although that’s still the highest TFSA interest rate on our chart
Promo rates are still holding up, where the usual two-some of Simplii Financial and Tangerine Financial continue to offer 5.00% or more to a select group of Canadians.

The highest 5-year GIC rate is currently 4.72% at Motive Financial or 5.32% through a GIC broker.
