Hi does anyone know of any self directed RESP savings accounts that offer any considerable interest? The only one that I could find so far was meridian credit union, who advertises 1.65%, but they have told me that is only for Ontario residents. I am in Alberta. It doesn’t look like any of the online banks with good GIC rates offer RESPs. Thanks.

Steinbach credit union in Manitoba has one at .75%, which is a crappy rate, but they normally will deal with out of province.
They also have GICs from 1.00 to 1.95

If you want interest income an option is to open a self-directed RESP at a discount broker, big bank or otherwise, and buy GICs from their selection of fi's.
