There was info regarding banks balance sheets on OSFI
https://www.osfi-bsif.gc.ca/en.....ncial-dataIt is now stored inside Financial data on Open Government. The data points are raw and by the numbers. Here is one I dig up
Calendar Month/Mois civil
2026-04-30Total All Banks/Total Industry Groups/FIs
Haventree BankReturn Title
M4 - Consolidated Balance SheetData Point Address/Adresse de point de donnee
1045Data Point Address Label
Consolidated monthly balance sheet: assets, total assets, totalMeasure Value/Valeur de mesure
4,496,402 (in thousands of dollars)It was 2,227,933 in 2020 June 30 (meaning the balance sheet doubled in size)
For comparison, Tangerine was 46,134,832 in 2020 May 31
Hope this helps
Haventree Bank's measure value of 2,227,933 in 2020 June 30 vs Tangerine of 46,134,832 in 2020 May 31 - does not mean Haventree Bank is much weaker compared to Tangerine? What does that OSFI Financial Data of Haventree Bank tell us?

I wondered about comparing just with Tangerine, so I delved into this government "source"?, and went down what is a deep rabbit hole and, having failed, I had to reach the surface for air! 😀
It might be my IQ has depleted with age, as data matters didn't used to be a problem. The question I have is, could the government have made this more difficult and time wasting? Its the old joke - desperate to fill your day with activity, just ask the government a question...
So I went elsewhere and here are simple results comparing all, done in two groups (banks and independent trust companies) because without that, data for FI's like Peoples Trust/Bank wouldn't be complete for comparison purposes.
1: https://www.google.com/search?.....sheet+size
2: https://www.google.com/search?.....sheet+size
NOTE: Having just checked opening these searches via the above links, you won't get a complete listing. While the search is open, put " " around the word ALL in the search, hit enter, and you will hopefully see the full list. And, as with all such google searches, you need to click on "show more" to see the full info. I'm not seeing consistent results after redoing these searches, you may need to fill in the "ask anything" area with specifics - sorry!

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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?

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.

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.
