Thanks for the heads up. I've added this to the chart. What about fees for transferring from the ICICI TFSA to a different institution's TFSA?

It's only a matter of time before the TFSA rate drops to the savings account rate (2.5%), which is the trend for all the banks. By the way, you can't open a TFSA online at ICICI like you can at ING and PCF.

ICICI has always been a problem when you want to open a GIC or do anything other than use their HiSave account.

Not true! Opening a term deposit (GIC) account can be done online easily. ICICI Bank is the best place for GICs because they pay almost the highest interest.

yes ICICI is really poor customer service and they charge lots of hidden fee and never reveal until you withdraw, so be careful

Again not true. I recently put money in their Hi-Save account then removed $5k for the new TFSA = no fees.

ICICI doesn't charge fees to use its Hi-Save savings account (including bank transfers). All banks will charge a fee to transfer-out a TFSA or an RRSP.
