I'm not sure either. They said at one point that rates would be the same. And we all know insurance coverage is less with CDIC thean with DICO.
I can only presume they think this will somehow provide greater national penetration, particularly for people who don't feel as positively about DICO as they do about CDIC.
I recall, for example, that MB CUs are not permitted to advertise outside MB, but can take memberships from elsewhere. Does the same thing apply to Ontario CUs? Has Meridian CU been advertising outside of Ontario?
It doesn't seem to have made much difference to Coast yet.
