The screenshot was inaccurate. Those quoted current rates are for *registered* accounts. I cross checked our rates comparison chart and their website. Therefore, I am not sure the new rates are meant for (i) non-registered, (ii) registered or (iii) across the board.

motus normally gives a slight bonus for registered, about 5 bps. Therefore, seems strange that they would promote non-registered rate, esp in RSP season.

In any event, they are not very impressive rates, but thanks for bringing it to our attention.

The rates are effective February 1st

I got the email right from motus so I'm sure it will be accurate by February 1st

While not very impressive, these are changes in the right direction.

From Alexandre's link, the following rates seem definitive. Registered rates are 5 bps higher than non-registered, as usual.
Actually, what these rates are relatively good for is RIFs. Most of the FIs offeirng better rates don't offer RIFs.
