At Omnia, apparently this promo will apply to new savings accounts set up until Sept. 9, 2024.

Is the promo open to residents across Canada, or Ontario only?

How easy is it to get your money out of Omnia, if you open this new savings account.

Can you use the link established with them to obtain $ from your external account? Can you instruct them to transfer funds to external account, for no charge, by using this link, ( the bank acct info, you gave them the retrieve the funds in the first place.)

There are no self directed options to move your money at Omnia. You need to contact them. In the past I received an electronic PAD with directions. I then sign with an e-signature and the rep completes the transfer. It is always backdated to the date I signed the request.

Thanks, and how about when you want to remove monies from Omnia, what are your options.

To remove money from Omnia, phone them. They email you a form to verify and e-sign and you submit the form online. The transfer of funds, I believe, arrives by the next day at your linked bank account. Omnia needs to have your linked bank account on file.

No limit, to the best of my knowledge. All your questions can be answered quickly and fully with one phone call to Omnia.

Please write your comments in the forum.
