Minimum balance requirements<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Some chequing accounts require not only a minimum opening deposit but also a minimum monthly balance.\u00a0 However, when you meet certain requirements each month, some banks may waive the monthly fee. For example, For the first six months, there are no monthly fees with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.greatcanadianrebates.ca\/register.php?r=33&amp;p=HSBC-Advance-Chequing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">HSBC Advance Chequing Account.<\/a> Also, there will be no monthly fees when you maintain a combined balance of $5,000 in deposits and investments, including chequing, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.greatcanadianrebates.ca\/finance-tools\/2021\/10\/08\/the-4-key-reasons-why-you-should-have-multiple-savings-accounts\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">savings<\/a>, RRSPs, TFSAs, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You must read the requirements before opening a chequing account to make sure you can meet them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2. Linking cards and their cost<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Another factor to take into account is the linking of the account with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.greatcanadianrebates.ca\/finance-tools\/2021\/10\/19\/how-to-choose-the-best-credit-card-in-3-easy-steps\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">credit cards<\/a>. You need to know which cards can be linked to the account, whether they are credit, debit or both, what maintenance cost they entail or the interest rate that would be applied in case of deferrals with the credit card. Many accounts do not allow you to link credit or debit cards or charge a maintenance fee for them. However, some accounts like the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.greatcanadianrebates.ca\/register.php?r=33&amp;p=Scotiabank-Ultimate-Package\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Scotiabank Ultimate Package Chequing Account <\/a>provides up to a $139 annual fee waiver each year on select <a href=\"https:\/\/www.greatcanadianrebates.ca\/finance-tools\/2021\/10\/20\/when-are-annual-fee-credit-cards-worth-it\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">credit cards<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3. Atm service<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Having a wide network of ATMs to access immediately to have cash in the shortest time possible and at no cost is a great advantage. For this reason, it is necessary to analyze the size of the network that each Bank has, if it is free or carries a cost. You also have to consider the amount you need to pay for access to other non-related ATM networks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.greatcanadianrebates.ca\/register.php?r=33&amp;p=HSBC-Student-Chequing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">HSBC Student Chequing Account<\/a> provides free withdrawals from their Exchange\u00ae Network ATMs. Other banks may offer refunds of a certain amount every month. But at worst, you will have to pay the fee. It&#8217;s important to find a bank with a friendly ATM fee policy if you use a lot of cash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>4. Rewards<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Banks offer different incentives and features with Chequing accounts, such as cashback rewards and loyalty programs. Some of these <a href=\"https:\/\/www.greatcanadianrebates.ca\/finance-tools\/2021\/09\/16\/how-to-maximize-your-credit-card-rewards\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">rewards <\/a>come in the form of a welcome bonus, and it varies between banks. For example, you can get a $250 welcome bonus when you open an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.greatcanadianrebates.ca\/register.php?r=33&amp;p=HSBC-Advance-Chequing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">HSBC Advance Chequing account<\/a>, whereas you earn a $300 welcome bonus with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.greatcanadianrebates.ca\/register.php?r=33&amp;p=Scotiabank-Preferred-Package\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Scotiabank Preferred Package<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If these incentives matter to you, you will certainly want to look for a bank that offers a chequing account incentive program that helps you maximize your account&#8217;s features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>5. Bank Transfers<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Transfer fees have been a common banking practice. However, some banks do not usually charge management fees or provide several free services every month. It is frustrating to be charged an outrageous fee every time you transfer funds between accounts, so you should consider this when opening your chequing account. Banks like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.greatcanadianrebates.ca\/register.php?r=33&amp;p=HSBC-Premier-Chequing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">HSBC<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.greatcanadianrebates.ca\/register.php?r=33&amp;p=Scotiabank-Preferred-Package\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Scotia Bank<\/a> offer unlimited Interac e-Transfer\u2020 transactions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>In conclusion<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>These are just a few of the factors you may want to consider when opening your chequing account. However, there are many others that you may wish to consider based on your needs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Having a chequing account to deposit and withdraw money is convenient, but choosing one from the countless options available can be difficult.
