Just a quick heads up for anyone wanting to take advantage of the 2.5% promotion offered. I recently opened an account with them and wanted to make sure everything went properly in the transfer so decided to deposit the minimum amount. Then once it went through I would deposit more money with them. I didn't realize that you had to have the $1000 minimum to get the promotion. I had already gone ahead and deposited another $30000 into the account once I knew it worked fine. Thinking I would just have to contact the bank to ask for the promotional interest as they could see what I had done, I was rudely told that I didn't meet their eligibility criteria so too bad. That I could just pull my money if I felt strongly and that 1.05% was still a good rate. Well just want everyone to know this is such bad service. And a poor way to try to start a new bank. Have taken my money out and will deposit back into another account where I can get at least 1.45% for now.

Zag had two promos active.. The founder promo promised the 2.5% regardless of money in account.. When the founders expired I believe they made it the 2.5% with 1000$+ for new customers...
Either way with this kind of deposit they should of been able to honor it.. I'd have to read the terms to double check but should be anything above $1000 getting the bonus rate..

The terms of their 2.5% offer says that one has to be a new client and make an initial deposit of at least $1,000:
• To be eligible for the promotional rate, you must be a new client and successfully open your first Zag Savings account (Non-registered, Tax-Free and RRSP) with a minimum initial deposit of $1,000 by September 20, 2015.
The terms would not be met if one made an initial deposit of less than $1,000, regardless of the amount of subsequent deposits.
