Tangerine has an offer I am using till the end of January 2020 @ 2.75%. After that not sure what Tangerine may be offering.
Same, except mine is till end of May. I had moved my $ out to Achieve, then received the offer, so I don't mind moving the money over to Tangerine, as long as I'm given the promo rate, its every 5-6 months now, compared to before every 3 months, still worth it IMO.

This is amazing. I just got the email too. Love EQ!
For those comparing EQ with others with higher special rates, I don't think it is the good way of comparing a permanent rate with temporary ones.Yup ... I don't pay much attention to those short-term 'bait' rates either.
But some here do. LOL

Yeah, I really want that 2 year GIC at 2.45% because I love to lock my money away.
exactly @vatox That is one key reason people do NOT use GICs to "keep it simple"...because they (and I) are not ready/willing/able to lock in our money.
So rate chasing makes sense. No need to dis those that do.

I too deal with many banks and credit unions. Now that I am older, I buy the best GIC rate I can get and get paid yearly instead of compounding. This way I can take advantage of any better rates that come up with the interest money. I always keep out around $100K and invest those funds in HISA. If Tangerine doesn't improve, I will be cashing in all my TFSA GICs with them. If they have a descent TFSA HISA rate at the time, I will put the funds in that then cash in December and re-invest in probably Oaken the next year in February. The same goes for the little bit I have in RRIFs with them. Sick of their games!!

I find it outrageous that EQ Bank continues to string us along with their promise of offering joint savings accounts. I don't care what interest rate they offer as it is more important for an older person to leave their widow/widower an easily accessible account, free of probate worries. An inept bank indeed that is unable to complete such a task.

New ETA for Joint is end of March '20.
TFSA and RRSP now promised by end of August '20
