I’m curious what products and services everyone uses. I like trying out new services, but it seems like the big banks are pretty effective at squashing competition.

I’ll go first: Chequing - BMO Savings - Wealthsimple Investing - Questrade with Passiv Credit cards - BMO, Costco, Amazon

I have tried Brim (credit card) and Koho (kind of a chequing account), but eventually dropped them because they couldn’t effectively replace BMO.

I’m interested to know everyone’s experiences with their banks and other financial service providers.

Edit: This thread has been amazing! Thanks for all the replies!

    Checking - Tangerine

    Savings - Tangerine or EQbank

    Credit cards - Tangerine, Brim, Amex

    Investing - Questrade

    I also use a credit union’s services for all the same services.

    I’ve mostly kept with free online or cheap accounts. Was with a big bank before but didn’t like the fees, and generally big banks have old and clunky web interfaces.

    I do feel like managing this many accounts is a pain, and sometimes I do think about a one big bank solution. But, I can’t justify the fees.
