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!

    If you’re the type that wants to withdraw cash, EQ Bank would be better option than WealthSimple Cash.

    EQ Bank offers to rebate all domestic ATM withdrawals, no matter the ATM. They don’t rebate International ATM withdrawals though if those machines charge a fee…

      Thanks for the tip on EQ bank! I used to have something like that when I lived in the states and it was great.
