A hybrid everyday-and-savings account with a high boosted rate for direct depositors.
The EQ Bank Personal Account pays a base rate of 1.00% on your full balance.
You can boost that to 2.75% by setting up recurring direct deposits of at least $2,000 per month.
It's worth noting that the boosted rate is ongoing rather than a limited-time promotion, so it holds as long as the direct deposits keep coming.
EQ Bank doesn't charge a monthly fee on the Personal Account.
Everyday banking is free as well, with no charges for Interac e-Transfers, bill payments, or pre-authorized debits.
The Personal Account is a hybrid that blends a savings rate with everyday banking. You'll get unlimited transactions with no minimum balance, and you can open up to 8 accounts to organize your money.
The EQ Bank Card covers cash access, with ATM fees reimbursed up to $5 apiece, five times per month.
Keep in mind that EQ Bank is digital-only, and the account doesn't offer cheques.
Deposits are eligible for CDIC coverage.
