[nono_banou2003]

Hi, I'm a french student who's actually moving to Montreal so I want to know which bank is the most suited for students? (i'm talking about monthly fees.....)

Thanx in advance!

I think your best bet is to go on line and check out each bank, there is only about 6 chartered banks in Canada. You might check out Credit Unions too. I know my bank (CIBC) has umpteen different types of accounts to handle most demographics. Once you've found one, it's not a bad idea to introduce yourself to the manager and try a little further negotiating.

A piggy bank.

I guess it would take a life size one to handle all your money.

lol....

I'm serious. Work and invest your student loans in something so they can help pay theselves off and keep the remainding shares for life.

You'll never find an easier source of investment funds or advice on how to set yourself up.

Use it.

The Presidents Choice bank is easy to use, but I can't remember if it's available in Quebec.

The CIBC employs guards, but they're not armed, so if you can grab the manager when he walks in the door.......................Hell even a student could pull it off.

Definitely the best bank.:lol:


Better know how to say, "gimmee the money and lay down on the floor" in Anglais though. Bilingualism is not guaranteed.

Which president is that, Obama or Bush?

 

[TenPenny]

Allow me to correct that:

President's Choice, otherwise known as PC Financial.

Nope. It comes under the heading "Genius". If someone is willing to lend you money at prime +1 with super easy repayment options it's silly not to invest it, work and use investment profits to cover the interest. You don't need to invest much, you just need to invest.

If you want to avoid service fees, become employed by a bank.

You don't even have to do that, just maintain a $1500 balance in your account.

 

[TenPenny]

PC Financial has no fees no matter what your balance is.

Yes but you need proof of enrollment...if you're getting student loans and not paying any tuition, then there is fraud in the works.
