e-mail warning from Tangarine just received by spouse:

“For these reasons, Chequing Accounts that are inactive for 12 months will be charged a $10 inactivity fee. The $10 inactivity fee will then be charged every 365 days if there are no transactions on the Account.”

This is why I don't use tangerine unless they have the best rate.

You can just transfer $20 in from your savings account and then back out if it needs a transaction.

Well, Tangerine is totally free with unlimited transactions. You can do a really small transaction once a year online or just use the debit card to withdraw money (maybe only $20) and then deposit it. At least they sent an email first which is nice.

Agree, not really an issue here. They warned your spouse, who, presumably, complied. It's just standard dormant account notice. All banks and CUs do this. 🙂

Don't set up an automatic, scheduled transaction, though, as those typically don't count as manual, customer-initiated transactions. Instead, make yourself a calendar reminder to manually do a transaction in each account at least once per year.

Cheers,
Doug
