Heads up everyone, CDF has dropped their high interest to 1.5% as of 7/17.

Wonder if and when the others will follow suit

Its savings account is down from 1.75% (to 1.50% as taxed noted). Its TFSA is down from 1.75% to 1.60%.

I can report that, that thus far, People's Trust, Hubert Financial, Maxa Financial, and Achieva Financial have all maintained their rates on 2 year GICs. (In the past, Canadian Direct Financial and Canadian Western Bank have always been hyper quick to lower their rates when the Bank of Canada lowers. It's to be expected.) If there is any good news in this, maybe the Bank of Canada is becoming irrelevant and the market is beginning to set rates.

Everybody will follow, sooner or later. To make depositors richer is never their intention. If paying less but attracting same depositors, they will definitely go this way.
