⬆ Already mentioned at the bottom of Post #1, but it doesn't' hurt to mention it again.
It's interesting to note that these increased rates are happening at the same time the BoC continues to sit on it's hands, and do nothing with it's rates ❗

Been out of gics for a long time, with my usual impeccable timing I bought 4 of the 1.9% ones on Jan 17! One didn't go through for some reason so I bought its replacement on Jan 20, i.e. I only win when there's a screw-up!
Dean: Sorry, can't help it, but don't put an apostrophe in "it's" unless you mean to say "it is". (Sorry again.)

This is one of my pet peeves also, "its" vs "it's", until my SO pointed out that some devices presume to "correct" your input, sometimes incorrectly. I am on vacation with time on my hands, otherwise I would not chime in.

That ⬆, + I'm also presently a fan of Hubert's cashable 1 Yr GIC @ 2.00%.
Can't wait to see what the GIC rates will look like, 12-14 months from now. Then it will most likely be time to go 'Long' again.

Yes, I just saw that ⬆ too ... = 5.6% increase.
We are still just in the early stages of this trend. We'll be seeing more of these increases (HISA's & GIC's), throughout the year.
Bide your time, and take advantage.

HISA Chart shows 1.32% for Oaken TFSA savings account but I don't believe there is such a thing.

I have now pulled almost all our registered GICs from Oaken, and will continue until done - unless they make an offer I can't refuse, such as they did when they almost went bankrupt about five years ago, which seems unlikely.

For myself, I have No registered $$$ with Oaken ... never have.
Have you ever tried to ask them 'Why' they don't have registered SA's? I have, several times in the last 3-4 years. They Never give a straight answer.
Each time I ask 'Why', all they'll say to me is; "We're working on it.". They won't answer the question. They just give that four word response every time, and then they end the conversation.
I'm guessing Oaken will Never have registered SA's.
