Praise for Omnia Direct | Omnia Direct | Discussion forum

I had some GIC's mature at Omnia from when they were the leaders of the pack for GIC rates last year, with the proceeds of the matured funds to be transferred to my big 5 hub account.

Instructions were provided a couple of weeks ago, with the required documentation to identify the target account.

Today was the maturity date, and first thing this morning the funds were transferred to a "holding account " at Omnia. I was told the funds would be pushed to my "hub" account the same day, and so, as promised, by 6pm the same day as the GIC matured and the push from Omnia, the funds posted in my big 5 hub account.

The people at Omnia are a joy to deal with, as they take a genuine interest in helping to answer questions and resolve concerns with personalized service.

They admit their deposit rates are lower right now, as they are focused on mortgages, but suggested watching for deposit rate specials in the Fall.

Based on my experience with Omnia this past year, I would deal with them again without hesitation, if and when their rates suit my needs.
