Got it! signed up for the 5%. It had to NOT be an existing account, but the phone rep says he'll set up the new account as soon as cash comes in. I was just about to shut BEEM down. Guess I'm not the only one - hence the very nice promo.

Well, this has been rather frustrating. I don't have a deposit broker, and the ones I called don't deal with Haventree. The Haventree web site pointed to two numbers, one of which said that I'd have to join the bank with a smartphone to identify myself, and the other number just kept me on hold for a while, then rang again, then kept me on hold, ad infinitum. Does anyone know of a deposit broker in Vancouver who will deal with Haventree? I gather that the outfit is Saskatchewan-based.

The 4% 2-year GIC sounds tempting. Does anyone have negative feelings about this?

What's not to like? CDIC insured, has option of paying interest annually. I will be definitely using it when my current Tangerine 4.0% promo ends.

I can't see this offer, on their website. Is it still on?

Haventree contacted us on Instagram and offered to answer any questions this community has. So if you want to post any questions for them there, we'll consolidate them and try to get some answers straight from Haventree.

OK, very helpful, and glad Haventree wanted to do that. It will save them time too by reducing phone calls. My questions have to do with joint savings accounts.

1: I assume the primary (account opening initiator) gets the T5 as it will have that person's SIN on it. Like everywhere else, but I just want to clarify.

And the practical day to day stuff -

2: Do both people have access to the joint account with their own separate EFT linked accounts for transfers in and out?

3: Does each person have a separate login ID and password?

No registered accounts. Too bad - would like to park my TFSAs somewhere paying a decent rate & shut down the National Bank accounts Motive forced on me.

I would be interested to know if they have a projected launch date in QC. Thanks.

Doesn't using Flinks require that one has online banking to share the passwords of to begin with? Haventree's site lists four brokers walkable from me. They all work for The Mortgage Group. Anyone know anything about them, good, bad or ugly?

I'll try visiting them soon.

For ON, keep this in mind:
"Separate Coverage
FSRA’s deposit insurance program provides separate coverage for insurable deposits held in joint accounts, trust accounts, registered accounts, and eligible business accounts."
