    Not OC but I used to use them for small investments back when I had money to play around with. It is a really straightforward platform and very beginner friendly.

    I also switched to using them for taxes because turbotax is dogshit. They have a pay what you can/free model and they’re again, super user friendly, and have lots of tips on maximizing your return.

    I haven’t tried any of their other banking things but from my experience with them over the last few years, I’d say they seem pretty decent.

        Definitely worth a look. They’ve been consistently one of the highest savings account rates and their visa card gives 2% cash back on everything.

          I have a self directed tfsa which is doing OK.

          Free trades. Fractional. Auto re-investing the dividends.

          Super simple. Though their search is a bit lacking.

          And their tax fillng… Holy shit it’s the easiest tax filing software I have ever used.

          The somewhat recent promotion to get a free pair of airpods was funny.

          Deposit $100

          Thousand.

          Maybe it was a commentary on the ridiculous overpriced pieces of plastoc.

          But hey, can’t give dictators giant 24k gold statues of themselves by selling non cult priced items.
