Yesterday, I asked Saven Financial on Twitter about the rate change, but they have not replied yet:
@SavenFinancial Why did your website show a 1.35% savings account interest rate this morning? Is there a rate decrease planned?

.1% difference from Motive is not enough to motivate me to move
For me, even when they paid 1.55%, their unacceptable policies turned me off.
No joint accounts, lengthy delays for incoming and outgoing transfers, peculiar linking to external account.
For the sake of marginal differences in interest rates these days, I prefer to deal with FI's that make processing of transactions as easy as possible.

Horrible company. If you try to open an account online and if it doesn't go through, you cannot open an account. Then are very rude and indifferent when you call in!
good to know. I tried to open online and got rejected and need to call in.
I will save my time and effort. No point trying to chase an extra 0.25% and prob they lower it anyway

Same experience for me. Actually spoke to them twice and was told if the online system doesn't accept the application I am SOL. C'est la vie - lots of alternatives out there.

1.35% observed today on their website (was 1.55%) ... still the leader, why not
Except it's not. To be the true leader of the HISA chart, it must be when sorted for residents of all provinces and territories. Otherwise, it's just a niche, two-bit single province credit union accessible only to residents of one province. Nothing more, nothing less.

It is leader when the offer is in Canadian currency, local or national not as critical to me. In that regard, I am sympathy to residents in Quebec for the fewer selections available to them. By the same token, I am envy when there is a better rate in the West. Surely it is a good thing to see local barriers removed.
… anyhow the leader spot is already elsewhere as I understand it today
