Just saw this today. Sorry if it is old news but I didn't know or I'd have opened my accounts with them rather than Oaken (3.25%).

Oh wait. It says offer is only available to "Retail Members". Never mind then.
As Loonie alludes to, my understanding is the same...individual customers walking into a branch or dealing online through the Contact Center for a personal account.
My experience with Meridian has been largely positive, when good deals that suit my needs are available, especially at the Branch level.
It appears Branch managers are given some degree of discretion to make decisions locally for the benefit of the client.
