I received the email as well. But since I also have an account at EQ bank, their current 1-year GIC is 5.50% so I switched my allegiance

I have EQ bank account, too, but I wanted 1yr GIC with monthly interest payout, so this email from Oaken was welcome. For monthly payout, it'll be 5.25% annual interest.
