Hi cchou,

Thanks for the heads up. I called them yesterday and got through immediately to a CSR. I also called in the afternoon. I'm most likely gonna sign up for a Savvy Savings Account next week. I'll keep you posted on the process.

Thanks,
TD  

Top Dogg. I am still waiting for your update on your sign up for the Savvy Savings Account.

Can this account be used to pay bills? 3.6% daily interest is better than Eq Bank's 2.25%...If so I will open it..Move from Eq Bank to Motive  

Yes, it pretty much has the same basic banking features.

Until Oct 31st, refer a friend to Motive and you'll both receive a $100 e-gift card!
Is this true? If so, please give me a refer code! Thank you!  

Looks like the new owners have cancelled this offer.

Annie just opened an account through the referral program. You have to use the Referral site to generate the referral to qualify.

Could someone send a referral code please. I tried opening an account years ago, but they said my home address could not be verified. I checked both Equifax and Transunion and all information is correct so hopefully no issues this time.  

Thanks, received a referral code.

I am also looking for a referral if someone could send me one.

That's too bad, Jimmy. Maybe it's worth phoning them to see if they can provide more information for you so you can get your account opened.

I opened a Savvy savings account, but it shows that the interest rate is 3.6%, not 5.75% for new clients.

My interest rate is also 3.6%... I called today to complain... I hope your system can be updated...  

Thanks. So, after your complaint, was your interest rate updated to 5.75%?

I did call, just got the voice-mail, leave message scenario. I read through the other posts at Motive on people whose application was rejected. All the criteria listed are met- credit rating, Equifax, Transunion etc. I do get the Tangerine and Simplii promotions frequently so not really a loss, but wanted to keep within CDIC limits.
