It's about time but still at the bottom of the totem pole.

Improvements for sure ... but unlike the old days, Hubert will still remain Far down the GIC rates comparison chart.
The Up side is, their quarterly-cashable 1yr GIC remains attractive, as the First 3 Months now yields 2.50% ❗

Sure their customer service is good, but that won't grow money on my tree's.
Pretty pathetic rates all around with their 5 year rate barely beating 1 year rates from the leaders and way over 20% lower than competitors 4 & 5 year rates.

Quite good for a 3-Mo GIC. An alternative to 1.5-1.7% HISA's ...

I'm only with them for the Flex 1-yr GICs, having purchased several [for even nore flexibility] back in Feb. So seems a no-brainier to cash them all in and take the 1.85% for the 1st Qtr, and buy new ones at the new rate.
So for that original 1yr term it means -0.15% for 1 Qtr, and +0.50% for next 3 Qtrs. ... I don't see a downside. Of course, if rate continue to rise as many believe they will, then this scenario may play out once again ?

My Hubert $ all in 1-Yr GIC's too. May split upcoming ones between new 2.65% Hubert 1-Yr and some 3.25% Oaken 1-Yr ...

But my lingering concern remains . . .
After the 3-way amalgamation is 'Fully' completed (sometime next year?), will Hubert Financial even exist anymore ❓
For me, that's . . .

TBD ...
Until then, the quarterly 1 Year GIC's may make sense as an alternative to HISA's ...

If the Hubert brand disappears, which i think is likely, the GIC you bought through them will still be valid. However, if you choose to cash it in before the year is up, it might not be possible to buy another one that is structured the same way.
If I had anything to do with it, I'd keep Hubert intact and get rid of Accelerate. I hope they have the wits to do so.

I will probably take the 2.5% for 3 months when my other 3 month term is up at Hubert. I locked it in at 1.8% previous.

- Ditto ⬆ ❗
It's interesting to note that with only one small exception, the Hubert & Accelerate rates are exactly the same now . . .
As many are guessing, the plan is probably to fold them into One online FI. As I've recently noticed some slight/minor improvements in the Hubert site (improved selection lists, etc.), it may be that Hubert Financial is being prepped to absorb Accelerate.
