Now that only a handful of banks offer 4.25% + (PFC, HSBC...?) I found it interesting that Altamira is catching up a bit by going from 4 to 4.15% as of november 6th. It's by logging in to my account today that I noticed the change (o:
Altamira (which is fading out, changing its name to ... National Bank, for visibility) as been a NatBank sister company since 2004 I believe. I've had good service. Opening my account was really easy and I made the first money transfer on the spot while opening my account on the phone with a rep. I needed to send in the signed papers + void check to make future contributions but even that took only roughly a week to do.
Anyway, just wanted to give you guys a heads up since it's a competitive rate and a reputable bank, with a good online account access.
It's purely an investment firm though, so there's no free checks or pay your bills options. Just deposit and withdraw through free online or telephone transfers. No debit card either.
