Here most brick and mortar banks are pushing monthly or per transaction fees unless you have a balance of xx or more. Many virtual banks have opened with zero fees so there many options, fuck any bank or institution that changes anything to hold cash. When will cashable GIC's have a negative return? I see where Chase Bank just closed shop in Canada. They zeroed out all credit card balances held by Canadians. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then again, I don't keep savings I think I will need short access to in a bank. Most investments are a few days to get to and a line of credit will handle any emergency that can't wait less than 5 days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you a moron on every topic or just the ones you enter into here? That’s an option. So is opening up a savings account where the bank pays $350 for keeping $10k for 6 months.

Open a savings and checking account at Chase with $10k for 6 months and they give you $350. Then you withdraw your money and go elsewhere. I’m finding all kinds of crazy ways to make cash in retirement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interest rate is only .01 on savings. Chase does have a very nice online interface. It’s easy to open and transfer to IRA’s, Roth’s, and I believe stock buys. They also have a very nice bill pay feature. Best online system that I’ve seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
