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.

Questrade.com: Open a New Account with $1000 Minimum, Get 10 Free Stock Trades
If you're looking for an affordable way to trade stocks online, take a look at Questrade.com, which is a Toronto based direct-access broker that offers, among other things, no activity minimums, no inactivity fees, and 24-hour account management. The price per trade is set at a minimum of $4.95 and a maximum of $9.95. Those are much lower rates than say, brokerages from the Big 5.
Until November 30, open and fund an account and you will receive 10 free trades (minimum account funding is $1000 Canadian). You need to use offer code NBTSF10 during the signup process to qualify. Once your account is funded, you will have 60 days to use the 10 free trades.
That's not all, either. If you move an account with a minimum of $25,000 from another Canadian brokerage, Questrade will pay the transfer-out fees up to a maximum of $150.
This offer is not available in conjunction with any other Questrade offer.

RBC Welcomes Immigrants to Canada: Free Banking, Safe Deposit Box
Like Scotiabank, RBC is now offering new Canadian immigrants a bit of a jump start on their banking with the RBC Welcome to Canada Package. The details of their package are not very clear online but it at least includes no fee banking and a safe deposit box free for a year. Here's what they're showing:
- All-inclusive RBC Signature No Limit Banking account
- Free rental of a small safe deposit box for one year
- Preferred rate on non-redeemable GIC
- Free copy of "Understanding Banking in Canada" – an RBC Advice Guidebook
To qualify you'll need to have arrived within Canada in the last three years and show proof of immigration. If you or someone you know fits that profile and would like to discount banking, we'd recommend getting the exact details and comparing it against the Scotiabank offer.

HSBC 2.75% 5-Year Variable Closed Mortgage
HSBC is getting fairly aggressive on their mortgage offers that now includes a 5-year variable closed mortgage at 2.75% - the current prime rate of 2.25% + 0.5%. A quick look at our mortgage tables updated daily by Fiscal Agents, has that the lowest variable rate listed.
Keep in mind that depending on your personal situation and how much negotiation you'd like to do, you may be able to get the same or better rates at other institutions. This 2.75% variable rate from HSBC is a very good posted rate though.
