Wealth One Bank of Canada pays 2.5% for savings accounts: https://www.wealthonebankofcanada.com/Personal/

Why I like them (so far):
Easy online account setup
Online banking with up to 3 linked accounts
CDIC insured
Good customer service both by phone and email
Mobile App for deposits and other banking needs: Android Apple

For warnings/concerns about Wealth One, see brimleychen's posts in the thread "New Bank: WealthOne". Link to the wiki post is interesting!

I for one will stay away from that institution for now.

Another credit union in Manitoba with what looks like really good rates as shown below. Look to be the best rates in Canada from what I can see.

albundy, the online membership application for Access says you need to be a Manitoba resident.
