Sent you PM, pls check.

Oops! I mixed up. The $100 e-gift card offer ended Oct 31st.
No referral is required for the new client offer.

Hmm: Saving a bank login is insanely dangerous! It makes perfect sense for them to not enable it. Any bad actor who finds or steals your phone or gets access to your computer has your bank cred! Any saved login is a bad idea, but for something enabling banking it's a drain-hole bigger than your phone.

@RetirEd,

Sure, no other financial institution in the world imposes such outdated restrictions in this modern era of biometric authentication, desktop PCs with passwords, and widely accepted cookie-based browser authentication.

Claiming saved logins are "insanely dangerous" is out of touch, especially when even CRA—dealing with highly sensitive data—relies on them as part of their online system. You can suspend 2FA with CRA and other FI only send them if their cookies are absent or you log-in from a different location or browser. I suppose if we use a telephone for telephone banking we won't need to put up with OTP.

And as for Motive requiring a mailed void cheque to link external accounts, I’m sure a few will gaslight and defend it, but it’s an archaic process which fails to align with modern digital banking practices.

Please reply if you know.

For Motive, new client interest rate (in this case 5.35% for current offer) stays same for 120 days right? Even when Bank of Canada decreases rates in December !? Or does it come down like it did from 5.75 to 5.35 last month.

Because Simplii and Tangerine explicitly states that even if regular interest rate changes, promotional rate changes accordingly, such that Total rate stays same for offer period.

I didn't find same wording with Motive in their T&C that total rate stays same for 120 days.

Anyone?

This suggests the total rate will decrease at Motive:

3. How Interest is Calculated and Paid
The special annual interest rate of 5.35% is a combination of the regular posted annual interest rate set by Motive Financial payable on a Savvy Savings Account (“Regular Interest”), plus the promotional bonus annual interest rate (“Promotional Interest”) of 2.15%.

Regular Interest is calculated on the daily closing balance at the applicable rate tier and paid on the last day of the month, for the period beginning on the last day of the previous month and ending on the second last day of the month. Promotional Interest is calculated on the daily closing balance and paid as a separate transaction on the last day of the month for the period beginning on the last day of the previous month and ending on the second last day of the month.

Regular Interest rates may change at any time without prior notice. Regular Interest is posted on the Motive Financial website.

Thanks Peter and smayer97.

That really sucks, because generally meaning of new client offer is rate is locked for said duration.
Checked with the CSR, promotional rate will stay same but regular will change accordingly with BoC rate changes!

Also on a different note (via their email). Until Oct 31st, refer a friend to Motive and you'll both receive a $100 e-gift card!  

... received one TangoCard.com card today from a referral made near end of September. It's a pleasure 🙂

hwyc: Was that an unrestricted gift card, or one you can only use at specified merchant(s)?
