Effective what date? What is your source? Meridian website still shows 1.75%

For those on the current promo, the increase would be beneficial

0.30% is a nice healthy bump putting those on the current promo anywhere between 3.80% and 3.95%. Seems there has been a bit of a lag by banks to respond to the latest BoC announcement as it applies to HISA's. I would imagine banks are thinking long and hard while waiting to see who will move first. Signups for Meridian's most recent promo ended a few days ago and I suspect they want to hold onto their current deposits.

For me this promo will end mid Jan 2023... where to move money then, maybe Motive at 3% or buy a short term GIC ?

I am in the same boat. I count on 1yr GIC to reach 5% mid Jan'23, and HISA from different FIs surpassing 3% by then. I'll be checking available options in January, and won't be concerned till then. Good times ahead.

I agree - 5% would certainly be my minimum acceptable rate for a 1 year locked in GIC. BCE (Bell Canada) shares are around $60 now with dividend yield 6% - will likely be my alternative if the 5% one year GIC does not materialize by end of December.
