I don't see it on their website. Did you get it from ratescoop , and if so from mobile app ? I'm curious because I signed up for ratescoop and I haven't received any scoop.

Actually, it is on their website.

For what it's worth ... Here's the 'Scoop' ⬇

I got an email from them at 5 pm yesterday with this info.

It was titled Rate Scoop: Mortgage and GIC Rate Changes

So, I guess it is working for some and not others.

Having lost interest in and with Meridian in the past year, along with several other issues with their procedures and policies, I called today to close all active accounts with them.

The branch representative I spoke to couldn't care less about my departure, and didn't even ask why I was closing my accounts.

I once had high hopes for Meridian, but my expectations were never realized.

Interesting to see the wide variation in service among FI's across the Country.
