What you need to know

In Canada, people commonly use Interac e-Transfer to send and receive money instantly. It is fast, safe, and trackable.

Real-life example

Aiden compares two accounts at a Toronto bank: one with no monthly fee but limited ATM access, one with a CA$10/month fee but unlimited transactions. At Aiden's spending level, the fee-free account saves CA$120/year. In Canada, switching accounts is easy — but most people never compare.
