      @mxwarp This is just a promo rate, all the Big Banks & their subsidiaries do this. They boost the rate for 3-4 months and then you earn their base crappy rate thereafter.

      Scotiabank, Tangerine, Simplii & etc. have been doing this for years.

      The options in the link I provided previously are non-promo rates.

      Other options incl. fintechs like WealthSimple offer 4.5% if you have $100k deposited or invested with them, or via money market funds or investment savings account which all pay >4%.
