I have a fair number of investments at RBC, thus some bargaining power. I was in the market for a GIC, and pointed out to RBC that Motive has one year GIC at 6%. RBC basically matched that for me, so I now have a one year at 6% with RBC.
Squeaky wheel gets the grease.

These rates are 0.1% higher than the rates on the official RBC GIC rates webpage. I am curious so I logged in to my TD account and their GIC rates are also .05% to 0.1% higher than their official TD GIC rates webpage.
Wondering why the marketing department would advertise a lower rate to the public and reward existing customers when the banks usually only reward new customers with sign in bonus and existing customers never get any perks.
