This was primarily because my BMO account is effectively free (as long as I maintain the balance above a specific amount).

I received my bank card in the mail and the PIN number in a separate envelopped. I got my free cheques and customer service was amazing… UNTIL YESTERDAY !!!!<br /><br />I went to one of the ATM’s which is affiliated with ING Direct (in this case, HSBC) that way I can bank for free: well believe it or not, I was unable to withdraw money or deposit a cheque at all. I was so upset!!! I spoke to customer service after trying a few times, they had me tried a million times and I kept getting various error messages (transaction denied, transaction not allowed at this terminal, transaction denied at the request of your financial institution) !!!!!!!!!! I spoke to a supervisor, NOBODY knew what was wrong or anything! No explanation was given. The only thing they could offer me is to transfer back my money into my other bank account and funds would not be available till next evening. I was so upset!! They are supposed to investigate the matter today… I don’t think ING Direct has their books in order yet, in order to do what they are trying to do. Personally, I am seriously thinking of closing up everything… because I need an account that’s reliable. Anyone else had some experiences to share??Rebecca in Canadanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6337895450730818700.post-2512108072818564012010-09-22T14:12:59.887-06:002010-09-22T14:12:59.887-06:00Given that you have a blog relating to budgets and...Given that you have a blog relating to budgets and savings - it is surprising that you have been paying 12.99 X 2 for a CIBC chequing account.

We also use it when we need to withdraw money from our Savings accounts in cash. But we do not use it as our only checking account. We still get some checks that need to be deposited. And also we bank with Chase and they have convenient ATM locations.Ellahttp://hereverypenny.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
