I just got an e-mail from Implicity Financial stating that their savings account interest rate will drop to 1.80% (from 2.00%) starting tomorrow. They said that their reasoning is:

"When determining our rates, Implicity must stay in step with the current market trends and unfortunately in Manitoba the reduced mortgage rates have had an impact on our investment accounts. It was never our intention to stand alone with the highest interest rate in the industry. Our rate strategy is to ensure that our rates are among the best in Canada, competitive within our marketplace and consistent to our highest competitors with similar depositor insurance and product offerings."

Note: I am not an Implicity Financial customer nor am I affiliated with them in any way!

I think you have to look at all of the Winnipeg CU's as a group as far as rates go. But still the best rates! "Use" them and select which one has the best options, fees, or service that best meets your needs. It is like having your phone, TV and internet with Telus or Shaw.

Agreed. It's not all about rates at this point. When rates are sub-2%, I'm willing to take as much as a 25 basis point (0.25%) reduction to a higher rate offering from a competitor in exchange for better online banking experience/platform, customer service, "feature-set" and overall transparency.

On those four points, Implicity Financial/Entegra Credit Union top the charts, hands down!! sf-cool

Cheers,
Doug
