Need a place for emergency funds or short-term savings? Regular accounts earn almost nothing. Many Canadians missed that while mortgage rates rose, chequing and savings rates stayed low. A high-interest savings account (HISA), or high-interest yield account (HYSA) helps your money grow and double faster, fighting (although not keeping up!) with inflation. We’ll also talk about how to choose the best high-interest savings accounts in Canada 2024 and avoid common mistakes. #HISA #CanadianSavingsAccount #HighyieldSavingsAccounts #livingincanada

I'm not even a newcomer to Canada but this stuff was never taught to me so thank you!! I was just looking into using a high-interest savings account versus investing in GICs; these vids are super helpful!

Tangerine used to be ING. Scotia took over the bank and rebranded it as Tangerine after ING left. A few years later, my "high-interest" savings account dropped to 0.7%

@dor1994 Месяц назад

Great video it explained HISA's quite well, but from what I understand the interest earned in a HISA is taxable. Could you please explain how this taxation works?

@earthsteward9 Месяц назад

Perfect place for an emergency fund or contingency fund or whatever you want to call it.

Hi, We are planning to move to Ontario by November 2024. As I was searching for blogs related to Canada relocation, I landed to your channel. This particular video is really informative. I appreciate and thanks for posting. Further can you please share me some info on cost of living. What is the descent salary to live in Ontario for a family of 3 (2 adult and a 7 year old kid)? How much in hand it comes after tax deductions? How can I get a house in rent there in Ontario within a gated community as we will be completely new?

@Northern_Squirrel Месяц назад

Thanks for the video. There are ton of videos circulating regarding HISA and the interest we would receive is much higher than traditional banks. I think it’s important to know a few things before opening such accounts. Yes it’s a good to earn 4% interest but keep in mind it’s interest income and subject to marginal tax at the end of the year. If someone really have excess cash, perhaps a better place to earn a tax efficient income by investing in blue chip Canadian companies that pay eligible dividends. But of cause if someone need cash for emergency, HISA would be a better option but the high interest is not a sure thing unless it’s in cashable GIC. And another thing to consider is what BOC would do with interest rates over the next 1-3 years. If BOC lowers interest rates significantly, I don’t believe 4% interest in HISA is realistic.

@LivinginCanada Месяц назад

the HISA rate will definitely go down in the coming years, so it's just something to take advantage of now. I agree, I would never leave a large amount beyond the emergency savings amount in an HISA, the opportunity cost is far too high! Yes, stocks, and in my opinion index funds are a great place to park them

I have a bank account with KOHO Financial which is earning me 5% interest, 2% cash back, an average of 6.5% extra cash back with 1K+ cash back partners, free credit score, 50% off credit building, no foreign transaction fees. I also have an account with EQ Bank which earns 4% interest on CAD balance, 3% interest on USD balance, and some RSP and TFSA GICs.

@HenryLau-pv1kp Месяц назад

Wouldn’t opening new accounts (and closing them) regularly have an adverse effect on the credit score?

It is necessary for Tax Reporting (T5) as you earn interest.

@The_real_Toddington Месяц назад

Yes

@user-uk6yz1my8h Месяц назад

In a savings account, you pay taxes on the money you gain.

@itwins3517 Месяц назад

Nah. If you have the money and don't use it as often, might as well get Redeemable GIC instead, which gives even higher interests than HIS. 1.6% for HIS vs 3.9% for Redeemable GIC. HIS has lots of transaction and monthly service charges whereas Redeemable GIC has none whatsoever. Redeemable GIC does have probation periods but usually 1-3 months

@LivinginCanada Месяц назад

Redeemable GICs are also a good option. There are digital banks/financial institutions without monthly fee charges that offer 4-5% though. So just compare and see what works better!

@kaizokud42 Месяц назад

I would rather buy defensive Canadian stocks or etf.

@greatwhitenorthtreasures3606 Месяц назад

Agreed. Have a one year cashable GIC with one of the big 5 at 4.1% (actually 1 in a set of laddered GICs). Because I'm curious (and funding a trip soon), I did a partial redemption on 3% of the money in it during business hours and online. I figured it would take 1-2 business days for the funds (and accumulated interest on it - well past 30 day probation period) to move. It's now 9 pm and the redemption plus interest already moved into account of my choice (no fees or charges, of course). Seamless. Heidi in Vancouver

Do you have a recommendation where to open a first bank account in Canada if I'm moving as a student with a nice sum of savings?

@LivinginCanada Месяц назад

Not a specific bank, but I'd recommend looking for specific student accounts because they offer a lot of benefits (e.g. no minimum balance to get $0 monthly fees, no annual fee credit card, etc.)

Hi, very simple and informative. Thank you! You mentioned you’re using Wealthsimple. So am I. I was wondering if your savings are sheltered in a TFSA in Wealthsimple? Can their cash account be put in a TFSA and if yes, can you share how? Thanks so much!
