Ally 2% High Interest Savings Account
High interest savings accounts aren't paying very high interest these days with ING Direct at 1.05% and ICICI Canada at 1.2%, for example. Ally is looking to sign up some new customers and a do a bit better with their 2% high interest savings account. Never heard of Ally? You're not the only one, they're a 'new' brand, from ResMor Trust Co., who in turn is owned by GMAC,. You can read more about Ally's background in this Globe and Mail article.
The account itself is very similar to what you get at a lot of other online banks. There's no mimimum balance, no fees, daily compound interest, and CDIC insurance. Unfortunately, at this time they do not serve residents of Quebec. If you're interested, check out the website, but also have a look at this discussion in the forums with over 250 posts.

ING 2010 TFSA Kick Start Account 2.1% Interest Until December 31, 2009
Last year the Canadian government introduced the Tax Free Savings Account (TFSA for short) to give Canadians a way to have their savings grow tax-free. The program is pretty simple - you get $5,000 a year in contribution room using after tax dollars, those dollars can be invested in a vehicle of your choice, and any growth that you received in those investments are tax free. That's the 10 second version but for more information you can read the TFSA background information article we have from Bennett Gold Chartered Accountants here and a follow up on how to use it as a tax haven.
Now that almost a whole year has gone by since the introduction of the program, ING Direct has brought back their TFSA Kick Start promotion. If you deposit money into their 2010 TFSA Kick Start Account anytime before December 31st, they're going to double the interest that you've earned and deposit it as a bonus on January 1st, 2010. With the low Bank of Canada interest rates, the interest rate on savings accounts in general are pretty low as well with ING Direct offering a rate of 1.05%, which would be doubled to effectively be 2.1% during this promotion. That's not a very high rate of return, but there's also very little risk.
