General comments: Easy to reach by phone during hours. I recently had to cash in a GIC before maturity and they were very good about it. Did not even charge a penalty! It was an exception, of course, but I was exceptionally pleased they helped out. Service agent was very pleasant. I have enjoyed good rates and easy on-line or phone service with them.

How long have you banked with them?: Since 2012

Why do you bank with them?: TFSA's rates (relative to everyone else's!)
What do you like about this bank / credit union?: Used to be frustrated by having to call-in to transfer funds out - though CSR's consistently pleasant and helpful and wait-times acceptable - but VERY pleasd that that is no longer an issue.
What could be improved about this bank / credit union?: Wish the 3% interest rate - apparently since 2009! - could have been maintained.
General comments: Concerned about the 1% drop in interest rate this year and what that might mean in future.; however, still above all other institutions (excepting promotions) so will leave my $$$ here for the time being. (0.5% more not worth the bother for me with this $$$ since I use it for "extras" and time for transfers and fees end up "eating" any extra interest earned, it seems).
