TD Chequing Account vs. Alternatives

The chequing accounts offered by the biggest five banks in Canada are fairly similar in their perks and fees.

In most cases, you can waive the monthly by maintaining a minimum balance throughout the month. For RBC, a fee rebate is available if you are subscribed to multiple bank products.

The Big 5 banks are not your only options for a chequing account.

You can also open a bank account with a credit union or opt for an online bank that offers no-fee chequing.

Digital (online) bank accounts are your best choice if you want a chequing package that combines:

• No minimum balance
• $0 monthly fees
• Unlimited free debit transactions and Interac e-Transfers
