HSBC or any big bank with chinese service.Anything about money, the less missunderstaning the better. -blaise(blaise); 2001-8-15 (#167724@0)

我说几句HSBC不错, 服务速度比加拿大的银行快, 收费比较合理, 美元-加元的汇率也比多数银行划算. 能说国语也是一大优点(钱的事小心为上).支票帐户需$1000以上多数服务才免费,不过这倒是和其他银行差不多, 收费相应还少些.

如果实在不愿意保持$1000的余额, 可以考虑再开一个INTERNET BANK的帐户, 所有服务都是免费的, 利率还高些, 放些小钱在里面,用起来很方便的. 我用的是PRESIDENT CHOICE的,在SUPERSTORE买东西还有DISCOUNT,挺合算的. -zjoy(Joy); 2001-8-15 {400} (#167728@0)

用它的银行卡或MASTER CARD消费,可以集点,够了$10,就可以代现金用, 大约是每花$100,可以得到$1. 另外如果用那个帐户付帐单, 每付一个可以得到$0.1.当然这都是小钱,主要是方便, 所有服务不收费,可以在INTERNET上查询帐户情况,付费. -zjoy(Joy); 2001-8-15 (#167741@0)

Canadian Tire 有 Master Options Card,也可以集点。 -beibei(beibei); 2001-8-15 (#167893@0)

I guess Goodbaby lives in Vancouver. I went to Vancouver this month and didn't see Canadian Tire in Vancouver. Anyway, i like Vancouver very much. It's better than Toronto except job market. -guest:i like vancouver; 2001-8-15 (#167944@0)

Yeah, Victoria's a really great place, especially along the seashore. I'm dreaming to live there. -zjoy(Joy); 2001-8-16 (#168762@0)

question is: how do u want to do for Tire points? buy another hammer? -scorpio(scorpio); 2001-8-15 (#167998@0)

对于新移民来说最主要是2条，1是否容易开户，Royal bank 就非常麻烦。2中文服务如何，语言不好钱的事还是用中文好。Bank of Montreal很方便，不错。 -rock_jack(The Door); 2001-8-15 (#167729@0)

同意。是否容易开户，应该主要是指是否容易办到信用卡。这对新移民很重要。除了这两点之外，还可以考虑是否方便，例如：你住的附近是否有分行；网点多不多？ -fionah(fiona); 2001-8-15 (#167758@0)

I prefer Royal Bank. -beibei(beibei); 2001-8-15 (#167736@0)
Some of my western colleague friends prefer credit unions. Compare to big banks, you'll usually get better services and products from credit unions. But I never tried myself though. -dennis2(Dennis); 2001-8-15 (#167768@0)
PC(President Chioce Financial) is the best for the poor, there is no minimun belance, free check-book, has points when you using ATM or Master Card. I have used it for half year, and feeling very well. -guest:Reader; 2001-8-15 (#167986@0)
