Accelerate Savings Rate Increase | AcceleRate Financial | Discussion forum

Thanks for sharing! I wonder whether Hubert Financial's rate will increase to 1.40% soon, since Hubert Financial and AcceleRate Financial are merging.  

Also, AcceleRate is available for Quebec residents—Hubert is not. I wonder what will be the outcome for Quebec residents.

While current 1.4% rate of AcceleRate Financial is not bad, their registration process seems to be complicated (download a form, print it, mail it, etc...).

Am I missing something ? Is there a modern/online registration process available for AcceleRate Financial ?  

Strange that the FI with the highest rate on the HISA chart does not appear to get any attention.

Am I missing something ? Hum ?

It's not actually the highest rate on the chart - exceeded by Wyth and Saven. It's also exceeded by the 2% promo rate at DUCA CU (Ontario) which is not on the chart, and is equalled by the rate at popular Hubert with which it is merging. In addition, a lot of people like the Hubert one year GIC which is cashable and the EQ 2% 3 month GIC as alternatives. The favourite right now is probably the Tangerine deal at 2.8 if you were targeted for it.

Perhaps some of these are not available to you or you prefer not to deal with them, but i think that's where most of the interest is these days - pun intended.

I think the chart is of limited usefulness as it doesn't include the promos, which are almost always available somewhere and create the most traffic. I seldom look at it myself.  

Thanks for the answer ! I am already on some Promos (not the Tang unfortunately), but when the Promos end, I want to have a place to move the funds in case I need to. This is what I did not do with Tang, and now, I am stuck with a non-competitive Promo there.

My initial question was on the AcceleRate Financial initial registration process, which seems to be from another time in the past, unless I am missing something "online" (?). Am I missing something or the process is really manual ? (download a form, print it, mail it, etc...).

But Hubert daily IS 4%?!?
I believe it was for a while...
